Why do you love being a Physiotherapist?

I love working with children and families to achieve their movement and functional goals, which enables them to participate in school and community activities. Seeing a child's sense of achievement and pride in themselves is very rewarding, as is walking alongside families through the challenging experiences that life presents them with.
