Personal Statement For Physiotherapy

My appeal in studying physiotherapy comes from my fascination in learning about the stages of rehabilitation after illness and injury. Physiotherapy would allow me to find myself in so many different situations each day, for example treating one patient with a strained gastrocnemius one minute to then treating a patient who has had a stroke and has immobility in their arm the next. This means that I would be faced with challenging situations where I would need to think on my feet to solve problems.
Another reason I am enthusiastic about this career choice is due to my dad's past injury where he had several sessions in physiotherapy to recover. I witnessed how the physiotherapy changed my dad's personality once he had recovered. Physiotherapy not only helps people physically affected by injury but also provides psychological support. Studying this course also appeals to me due to fact that physiotherapy is a very practical course to study and pursue as a career. I enjoy both theoretical learning as well as the practical based learning which is involved in studying this course.
I chose to do this because the course is very science based and I enjoy learning how the body works in relation to sport and exercise and also how sport and exercise effects the body. I also chose to study health and social care. This has given me the knowledge about different situations in health and social care settings such as hospitals and taught me how to deal with such situations. My favourite unit in health and social care was the equality, diversity and rights unit where I learnt the importance of treating people equally and understanding the differences in people beliefs and behaviours and how they should be catered for in health care services and
