Physio means I get the opportunity to improve people's lives. For me the reward and satisfaction happens every day when my patients show up smiling because their pain has decreased and they can see hope in overcoming their injury or ailment. Most of the time my patients will say 'I hardly have any pain now thank you' but what they really mean is I can return to my life and participate fully with my family and friends in the things I love to do. Physio also keeps me honest. I firmly believe we must practice what we preach and therefore I am doubly motivated to stay healthy and exercise
