This week, I had an experience that made me pause and really think about my journey as a physiotherapist. It’s got me reflecting on whether I’m still growing in my role or if I might have settled into a bit of complacency. Physiotherapy as a profession has evolved so much—new techniques, technologies, and expectations are constantly reshaping how we work. But not every patient has been on that same journey. Some still carry expectations rooted in older models of care, and that mismatch can be challenging. It’s made me wonder how I can bridge that gap—how to stay current while still meeting people where they are.Going forward, I want to be more intentional in how I communicate what physiotherapy is—and what it isn’t. I’m thinking about how I can better advertise the scope and purpose of physiotherapy, so that patients have a clearer understanding before they even walk through the door. It’s not always about the length of time we spend together, but about the quality of what I offer: evidence-based care, meaningful education, and self-management strategies that empower people to take ownership of their recovery. That’s the kind of care I want to be known for.
