#146 What Every Person Gets Wrong About Their Body with Samantha Elder
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Samantha Elder started her business selling strapping tape.
She ended up building something far more personal.
Samantha is a physiotherapist and founder of Summit Wellness, a developing wellness practice in Mount Lawley focused on physiotherapy and clinical Pilates. She has worked across hospital systems in Australia, Japan and Singapore, and brings a deeply holistic approach to her work, one that looks beyond the injury to the whole person behind it.
What set this conversation apart was not the clinical insight, though there is plenty of that. It was the moment Sam shared the pregnancy loss that broke her open and ultimately redirected both her life and her business. Watching her choose to rebuild rather than retreat reminded me why I started this podcast.
We covered the excuses business owners use to avoid moving their bodies, why your pain is almost never just physical, what the biopsychosocial model actually means for how you show up every day, and what it looks like to reach the fork in the road and choose the harder, braver path.
Exercise is medicine. In life and in business. This episode makes the case better than I ever could.
Mentioned in This Episode:
02:48 The hospital moment that made Sam realise she had to leave the system
17:19 Why your pain might not be physical at all
25:16 The biopsychosocial model and what it changes about how we treat pain
30:40 The pregnancy loss that reshaped Sam's business and her life
38:07 The question Sam asked herself at the fork in the road
43:24 Walking to the letterbox and back, and why that was everything
