Things we love about being pediatric physiotherapists:
- getting to play while we work
- getting to hold and play with babies
- days full of smiles and laughter
- getting to be creative and imaginative
- getting to sing at work
- playing make believe
- being silly is often a good thing
- learning to ride a skateboard at work
- practicing jump rope at work
- playing with bubbles
- being able to get new toys on a regular basis to share with the kids
- seeing the sense of happiness and pride when kids master new skills or do something on their own for the first time
- it’s very rewarding to help improve a child’s independence and quality of life
- it’s also very rewarding to help improve a parent or family’s quality of life by helping their child
- the kids keep us on our toes (sometimes literally), and there is never a dull moment
- physio can take place anywhere – in the park, at the clinic, at school, at home or even at the pool
- every day we learn something new, and we will never everrun out of new things to learn
- IT IS FUN!
