True story,
The first time I went to physiotherapy I knew it was what I wanted to do when I "grew up". I had suffered a severe ankle sprain while playing basketball in Highschool. After a trip to the emergency room and several X-rays later I was refered to physiotherapy. The moment I walked into the clinic and met my therapist, I knew it was the perfect profession for me. So I studied hard, spent time volunteering and a mere 6 years later I was enrolled at Queen's University in the Physical Therapy program. It was fate that injury brought me to the profession I care so much about...and yes I still keep going back to see my fellow colleagues when injure myself. Because you can't always treat yourself!
