Reflecting on My Journey This World Physiotherapy Day
When I first became a physiotherapist, I thought my role was simply to help people recover from injuries and restore movement. Over the years, I’ve realised it’s so much more than that.
Being a physio has taught me to listen deeply - not only to the bodies of my patients, but also to my own. Through every stretch, every posture correction, every breath of awareness, I’ve built a stronger relationship with my body. It’s a journey of respect: respecting what the body can endure, how it can adapt, and how it can heal when given the right care.
But the most fulfilling part has been empowering others. Every day, I witness resilience in my patients - people discovering strength they didn’t know they had, rebuilding confidence in their movement, and reclaiming independence. It’s a privilege to walk alongside them, reminding them that their bodies are not broken, but capable of transformation.
Physiotherapy has given me a lens to see health not just as the absence of pain, but as the presence of strength, balance, and joy in moving. It’s a gift I carry with me into my own life, and a gift I’m honoured to share with others.
💙 On this World Physiotherapy Day, I celebrate the power of movement, the resilience of the human body, and the incredible privilege of being part of so many healing journeys.
