Importance of Self-Care

The biggest reward to me as a physical therapist, is when a spouse or family member of one of my patients goes out of their way to tell me how I have changed their life, because I have helped their spouse feel so much better. That kind of gratitude and ability to help change lives is why being a physical therapist means so much to me and why I am so dedicated to taking care of myself, so that I can physically, emotionally, and mentally continue my career for years to come. Healing through the art of caring is about empowering others to heal by giving them the tools to perform self care, self awareness, and self development through using creativity, compassion, and intuition to create a therapeutic connection in the clinic that promotes healing.
