Good day all! My journey as a Physiotherapist though super
eventful has been thoroughly rewarding. Born and Raised in New
Delhi, India I moved to the United Kingdom for my post-graduation
where I specialized in Neuro Musculoskeletal Health care. With
an overall therapy experience spanning over 15 years, I have
worked in both Clinics and large Specialty hospitals since
graduating with a special interest in Orthopedic/sports
injuries.
I am a certified Pelvic Health Therapist
(Level 3) and am also proficient in Dry needling, Mckenzie
(Lumbar spine), Manual therapy, and SFMA techniques (Selective
functional movement assessment). One of the most amazing aspects
of my profession is that I derive my motivation from the very
challenges I face at a daily level.
As a
physiotherapist, it is so fulfilling when you watch your patients
regain their lives back because of your efforts. Every Job profile
involves some end result for the efforts invested, but for a
physical therapist, the result can be as amazing as a young soccer
or hockey player recovering from a bad injury that could have had
a long-term impact on his active life.
I consider
myself fortunate to have this opportunity to truly make a
difference in someone’s life every single day through
evidence-based treatments. I have a very keen interest in
Meditation and Yoga. Meditation is one of the most beautiful and
relaxing and ‘underrated’ wellness activities known to us and
it's also my favorite topic of conversation. I always look
forward to improving my skills as an expert therapist and have
future aspirations to set up a charity organization in an
underdeveloped country to improve health awareness.
I started my massage journey in a more non-conventional way than
most, through karate. I started karate at the age of five years
old and ended up competing internationally as a teenager. I
started teaching karate as a way to continue educating people the
discipline and respect involved in the practice. While teaching I
noticed the strain practicing martial arts put on my students and
wanted to help them address those issues, which led me to learn
massage.
While I was at school, through my training, I
learned that I could help more people through massage than just my
students. I graduated from CDI College in 2018 and started
volunteer work with the Edmonton Prospects baseball team. After
the season, I took a job massaging full time, helping as many
people as I could. Over the past 5 years I have developed a better
understanding of the body and use what I learnt to control the
depth of my massage.
I specialize in deep tissue, but
I am able to read the muscle tension and any additional indicators
to reduce or increase my pressure as needed. Additionally I also
specialize in sports therapy, driven by my work with karate and
volunteering. I also provide maternity, pre-natal, and post-natal
massages as I believe less stress on the mother can help with a
healthy child. In order to bring more benefits to my clients I
have also taken courses in hot stones, cupping, and kinesio-taping
and can incorporate as needed.
