I grew up watching and playing sports and always wanted to be involved in it. So when I knew that I would not be able to make it professionally, I looked into roles associated to sport. Physiotherapy stood out and I became more interested as I learned about the wide scope of clients that physiotherapists can see.
What do you love about being a Physio?

Sports injuries - particularly knees and ankles
Cervicogenic headaches
Acute and chronic injuries
Exercises
Ankle circles and alphabet to improve ankle pain and stiffness
Lumbar extension to improve lower back pain & stiffness
Hip flexor stretch to improve hip tightness and flexibility
