From movement to osteopathy with Paul Hermann

Osteopath Kale Mazurek reached a turning point after a decade in practice, when the physical demands of hands‑on work began to take a toll. With long‑term career sustainability and family life front of mind, he started exploring roles beyond the treatment room. That search led him to a new professional direction where he could continue drawing on his osteopathic training in a different way.

In this conversation, Heath Williams speaks with Kale about the transition he made, what prompted it, and why osteopaths are uniquely positioned to move into a wide range of non‑clinical roles thanks to their strong transferable skills.

Kale describes the path he followed beyond the clinic and how core osteopathic capabilities—critical thinking, adaptability, time management, and stakeholder communication—helped him thrive in a government position. Their discussion also highlights the breadth of opportunities available to osteopaths, including policy, support coordination, occupational rehabilitation, claims management, injury prevention, and corporate wellbeing.

With the research article (Trends in retention and attrition among osteopaths in Australia, 2025*) showing declining early‑career retention, this episode offers a timely reminder that osteopaths have diverse and meaningful career options both within and beyond clinical practice.

Beyond the clinic career journeys and professional fulfilment in osteopathy

It took a chance listening encounter for clinician scientist and osteopath Roger Engel to hear Elise Fuller and Katie Willy speaking on a webinar about lactation and mastitis. At the time, what Elise and Katie didn’t realise was that they were sitting on a wealth of clinical data, and it was the data which caught Roger’s attention.

Following the webinar, Roger contacted Katie and with Elise on board, the three of them started down their path of research and as they say, the rest is history.

Hear someone who knows a thing or two about a case series, Michael Fleischmann, chat with Elise, Katie and Roger on the journey they took to having their case series, Osteopathic intervention for inflammatory conditions of the lactating breast: a case series, published in the International Journal of Osteopathic Medicine.

This conversation stands as an inspiration to any osteopath wanting to turn the wealth of knowledge they gain in clinic into meaningful research that can help shape the profession.

A philanthropic grant, that was administered by Southern Cross University, helped make this research possible.
