Why I Became a Physical Therapist
“My journey to become a physical therapist was shaped by my own experiences with sport-related injuries as a swimmer and rugby player. I know firsthand how frustrating it can be to be sidelined from the activities you love. Those experiences inspired me to help others not only recover, but return stronger, more confident, and better prepared to prevent future injuries.”
