Sarah Ronhovde

It's hard to say I had an inspirational moment that resulted in me becoming a physiotherapist. When people ask "so why did you pick physiotherapy" I typically have to be honest and say "I didn't pick physiotherapy, it picked me". The scope of the profession, my fellow colleagues, the ability to travel and work with such a variety of incredible people and the knowledge that I continue to gain, each day that I work all add to my experience of life as a physiotherapist. And it's a great experience of life in this profession!
