Musculoskeletal graduate support: How practitioner mentorship transforms early careers

Are you a musculoskeletal graduate searching for support and mentorship?

Whether you’re a sports therapist, rehabilitator, physiotherapist, osteopath, chiropractor, or massage therapist, the transition from graduation to successful practice can be overwhelming.

Many talented practitioners struggle with imposter syndrome, self-doubt, and a lack of career guidance—leading far too many to leave the profession early.

Why musculoskeletal graduates need career guidance

My experience from 10 years of full-time lecturing, give me anecdotal evidence that around only 25% of musculoskeletal graduates remain in practice a few years after qualifying.

They have the skills and have proven competency through their degree programmes and qualifications.

The main reasons for leaving? A lack of structured support, career mentorship, and clear guidance on how to build a thriving practice. Early career practitioners often feel lost, uncertain about their next steps, and alone in their struggles.
