Meet Nidhi
She’s proof that where you start doesn’t define where you can go.
Growing up in Pune, the youngest in the family, she was always compared to her older brother — told to focus on cooking, cleaning, and being the “right kind of girl.” But the day she saw her aunt gently mobilise a patient’s stiff elbow, she found her calling. From that moment, physiotherapy wasn’t just an option — it was her purpose.
In India, she worked her way up to running a clinic almost single-handedly, with patients asking for her by name. But Nidhi wanted more — an experience that would push her beyond her comfort zone. With her brother’s support, she took the leap to the UK.
The move came with its share of battles — financial struggles, culture shock, long nights of study, and adapting to a new healthcare system. But when she returned to hands-on work as an MSK Physiotherapist at the Manchester Movement Unit after just four months away, she felt like she had come home. Those patients, that room, the teamwork — it reminded her exactly why she chose this path.
Today, Nidhi stands as a physiotherapist who not only treats patients but inspires others to take leaps, face fears, and believe in the power of resilience.
Your beginnings don’t limit your possibilities — Nidhi is living proof.
