On World Physio Day, we celebrate the triumph of our inaugural Aspire Games Night Champions ๐- Laura, Sam, Freya, Lachie & Luke led by captain Diego. An often fiercely fought contest of games between our 4 teams of staff & families, it was a great night full of fun, enjoying everyone's company outside of work.
As physiotherapists, exercise physiologists, and support staff, we are fortunate to experience victories every day. While our patient's journey may begin with adversity and pain, it often marks the first time they feel truly heard, diagnosed, and empowered with a plan tailored just for them. And then we soon start to win... pain relief, better movement, getting out of bed without pain, walking without crutches, starting to run, returning to work, returning to play, a grateful patient referring someone else for help. These achievements have to be earned.
Being a patient's physio isn't something we ever take for granted. It's an honour to be trusted. Our role puts us in an important place in the lives of our patients, sometimes for a few weeks, sometimes years, sometimes for life. Beyond the science and research, it is the people and their stories that make our job fun.
As physios we feel like we've won every day - friendships with colleagues every day at Aspire and within our network of professionals that surround & support us; the sporting clubs that we work alongside; and we enjoy the privilege of sharing the wins of our patients on their journey back to their best. Thanks for having us.
