It is said that-
A physiotherapist has the brain of a scientist, the heart of a humanist, and the hands of an artist!

What inspired me to take physiotherapy?
I would love to make a positive impact on other’s life by improving their lifestyle quality. I have seen how miraculously physiotherapy worked for my family after a disability and a fracture. The joy and hope received are tremendous by the patient and for the therapist.
What is the favorite part of providing physiotherapy?
It’s rewarding to see how a therapist can alleviate a fellow human from pain. The best part is that I am blessed to heal people with my hands.
What is challenging in my work?
I have to be emphatic and yet be firm and loving to get the therapy completed. A fine line between those two emotions is difficult to balance. Dealing with the different psyches of patients is the other challenge I face regularly.
