MOTIVATING FACTORS TO STUDYING PHYSIO-THERAPY

Being a physiotherapist has always been a desire since my dad developed high blood pressure. He was advised to be exercising because lack of exercise was one of the reasons why the high blood pressure was present in his body. from the time he began exercising I could not be left out because I was his child and he loved me so much. He had already suffered a lot and was not willing to extend his suffering by having me share in his problems when I grew up. Therefore he decided that I had to exercise with him. however, during the time of the exercises, I realized I had a passion for becoming a medical doctor and therefore I did not know how to exercise that is athletics could merge with medicine. Therefore I kept on researching more and with time I got to know that it is possible to be a physical therapist. In my school, I would be the person to help those who got hurt due to their exercises and especially in football most of the friendly matches.

I got the interest to help more in the sporting activities and I even volunteered with organizations that were focused on making sure that there was someone to look after those who got hurt during physical activities. Therefore this is how my interest grew. It was, even more, when I realized that my dad got healed completely after continued exercise as the doctor had advised him. I decided to take the same route because even though it has many other types of treatment physical fitness is one of the concerns and this plays a significant role. Therefore my friends at school and my family at home were the major motivating factors towards my desire to study physiotherapy.
