Why did you become a Physio?

Originally it is because I participated in sports growing up. I've had my fair share of injuries and pains growing up and know what its like to put your trust in a physiotherapist. However, as I have continued I thoroughly enjoy how amazingly our bodies have been designed and how we are able to adapt to any stimulus give to our bodies. It makes helping people make changes to their bodies very rewarding when you have this understanding.

What do you love about being a Physio?

​How using your knowledge of how the body works and moves can guide you to making big changes in someone's life, and even better is when I get to explain this in a way that allows the patient to understand this and help them appreciate their bodies. I definitely would say I have an interest in populations of whom partake in some form of physical activity e.g. gym, sports, running, bouldering, etc. I have a special interest in sports injuries, in particular ACL rehabilitation, patella tendinopathy, lifting injuries, and back pain which has failed traditional approaches.
