I was originally working in the fitness industry prior to becoming a physiotherapist. It was my time working as an instructor at a cardiac rehabilitation program that made me realize the importance of movement and the profound ability of our bodies to heal. It was amazing to see clients who were previously severely ill recover step by step. I was amazed at the complexities of the many systems that allow us to function in our daily lives; functions which we often take for granted. Now a physiotherapist, I find it extremely rewarding to be able to work with a variety of people to achieve their goals. I see the impact of physiotherapy each day at work and feel humbled to be part of this great profession!
