When I was in junior high, my grandfather had a stroke and refused to have physiotherapy treatment. That was my first time hearing the word "physiotherapy" and it intrigued and motivated me alot that I ended up taking physiotherapy when I went to college. Upon graduation I volunteered to help children with cerebral palsy and witnessed how physiotherapy can be of tremendous help in terms of mobility and flexibility issues. I think it's the caring part of me that continues to drive my passion in helping others reach their potential physically.
