Document Summary
A closer look at physical therapy in canada. I want to become a physiotherapist in order to help those in need to recover, maintain and improve their physical competences. My decision to peruse physiotherapy initially started when after my uncle had be diagnosed with prostate cancer. Post-surgery due to extended bed rest, my uncle had been unable to execute some forms for physical movement. After witnessing my uncle being taught to perform simple tasks such as walking, i wanted to help. Although, my uncle has completely recovered and conquered the cancer, my goal to help other in a similar situation. Being a self-directed and client-focused profession, physiotherapy aims to improve the quality of life by restoring, enhancing and maintaining bodily functions through physiological therapeutic intrusions (2012 description of physiotherapy in canada, 2012). There are numerous methods physiotherapists follow in order to improve the quality of life.
