I believe the answer is:

physiotherapist

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'health specialist' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?

'rewrites his epitaph story' is the wordplay.
'rewrites' indicates an anagram.
'his'+'epitaph'+'story'='hisepitaphstory'
'hisepitaphstory' is an anagram of 'PHYSIOTHERAPIST'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for physiotherapist that I've seen before include "One who treats illness by massage and exercise" , "Masseur" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
