My Job
3 - Health
Being creative

I problem solve every day on the job, which requires me to think on my feet a lot.

I treat patients for approximately 30 minute time periods. Within that time I have to assess or re-assess them as required, treat the condition, educate them about their condition and provide them with some exercises to continue at home.

Everybody's recovery is different- some treatments require more emotional support or assistance where others are more physical. So with each patient, I have to adapt my treatments to what works best for them.
