From Burnout to a Thriving Physio Business: Kelly Wilkie’s 25-Year Journey
Q: How did you start your own practice with no network and no clinic?

From Physio to Founder: Ibrahim Samaan on Building Purifas
Q: What was the process like for getting your first commercial breakthrough and turning Purifass from a side project into a real business?
After developing the first product for my own clinic, I built prototypes, found a manufacturer, and then engaged a marketing agency to learn about commercialization, website setup, and targeting a B2B audience; the real breakthrough came with initial distributor orders following the APA conference in Adelaide.
From Physio to Founder: Ibrahim Samaan on Building Purifas
Q: So essentially, Purifass helps improve both hygiene and comfort in a clinical setting, in a more convenient, cost-effective manner. What's your one-minute elevator pitch for Purifass?
Purifass delivers improved hygiene and comfort in clinical settings through a range of infection-control products, starting with protection for the therapy bed's face hole and extending to comfort toppers, with a business model centered on scalable product sales rather than selling time.
