Why Am I a Mobile Physiotherapist?
I have been a physiotherapist since 2015 working in private practice in a typical outpatient clinic setting, treating an average of 8-12 patients per day, 6 days a week. After 7 years of working in a fast-paced environment, I realized I couldn’t sustain it anymore and needed to create a better solution.
I didn’t like not having time to just sit and listen to my clients, or re-assess something if a new issue came up. I didn’t like the feeling of just getting through each client and onto the next one. I truly wanted the best for each client but at this volume it was physically and emotionally draining for me.
I absolutely knew I wanted to find a way to give every single client my full attention, energy, and time. I wanted every client to feel taken care of, validated, and important. I wanted to be easily accessible and flexible.
So I went mobile! I could finally have control over my schedule and thus the number of clients I see. I am much happier and finally feel I can provide the level of care that I have been longing for and that my clients deserve!
