How the body moves and functions has always fascinated me. completed a massage and aromatherapy course while completing my Sport Science Degree, and then hungry for more knowledge and understanding I undertook a physiotherapy degree and qualified in 1998. This far into my career I can safely say I made the right career choice as Istill love the profession, the challenge of working with patients, and finding the cause and solution or management programme to their challenges. Since becoming becoming a Physiotherapist I have continued to learn more about our bodies their mechanics, how the soft tissues react and recover from injury, their relation O our emotions, and the effect an injury can have on our lives. Continuing professional development has been ongoing throughout my career, keeping up with new research, treatment and rehab techniques.
