One of the greatest joys of being a physiotherapist is having the privilege of supporting people through different stages of their lives.
I've been lucky enough to work with this incredible young lady since she was a small child, and now she's a young adult. Over the years, our sessions have focused on building confidence, developing physical skills, and supporting her and her family through life's many transitions.
Today we worked on stretching, strengthening, and mobilisation work, culminating in practising walking together using her walker. Seeing the progress that can be achieved through perseverance, teamwork, and determination never gets old.
It also served as a reminder of just how long we've been working together... because somehow this little girl has grown into a young woman who now completely towers over me! At this rate, I may need to add "step stool" to my physiotherapy equipment list. π
