 I work as a physiotherapist at a private clinic. I have a steady program everyday with
minor differences.
Physical therapy is one of several different medical professions that someone can choose
to practice when they get involved with healthcare. When you work as a physical therapist, you
are treating individuals through physiotherapy. Your goal is to help someone reduce their pain
levels, recover from an illness, or heal from an injury that caused him to lose mobility or
function in one of their body parts.
I feel comfortable with my job and when people feel comfortable at work, they tend to
be more productive.
Most people are comfortable when their co-workers come from similar backgrounds,
socioeconomic circumstances, cultures, or ethnicities.
If someone is different, that becomes a scary situation for many people. When workers
are fearful, they become less productive.
One of the main benefits of working in healthcare is that you will get to help people. In
a health clinic your actions will directly benefit other people, making this a very rewarding
career choice.
You will learn a lot of new things in any healthcare setting, so this is a job where you
will be constantly developing your skills. As such, there are good opportunities for career
progression.
f you don’t want to work a standard 8h program, you will find that a career in healthcare
often involves working more flexible hours, which may suit your lifestyle.
Despite the advantages, there are a few disadvantages you should also be aware of. For a
start, you may have to work long hours, and it can involve physically hard work.
Working in healthcare can also be a stressful job at times. Patients can be challenging
and may not appreciate what you are doing, and long hours may put a strain on you.

Working in physiotherapy can be a highly rewarding experience. It is also a career that

can be very demanding on your physical capabilities and your schedule. You must stay
physically fit so that you can go about the duties of your position comfortably while supporting
your patients. That means you will need to get enough sleep each night, maintain a healthy and
balanced diet, while making time to exercise in some way for at least 150 minutes per week
outside of what is necessary in your profession.
There is some flexibility in your schedule because you can choose to open or close
appointment windows based on your daily needs, but it is also true that you will not earn an
income if you don’t see people for their physiotherapy needs.
When you start working as a physical therapist, then you will find out very quickly that
some people don’t really want your services. Some of your patients may be suffering from a
traumatic event or a grievous injury that makes them confrontational, aggressive, or stubborn.
Some people will choose to embrace the advice and techniques that you offer, but there will
also be those who choose to reject everything that you say. Physiotherapy can be overwhelming
at times, especially when a patient responds slowly in their recovery even when you are doing
everything right.
Physical therapy can be emotionally draining when you are dealing with patients and
their families every day because each person experiences pain and that is why they see you.
Chronic discomfort can create challenging emotions for some people, and your role as a
physiotherapist is to help them release that negative energy.
