Tell us your background in PT
I finished my physiotherapy degree program at Far Eastern University – Nicanor Reyes Medical Foundation. I worked in a geriatric wellness center and as a sports physiotherapist and strength and conditioning consultant at a known rehab clinic; I have handled multisport teams for obstacle course races, trail / mountain / sky running, and long and short distance athletes as their sports physiotherapist and strength and conditioning coach.
What are your interests:
My interests are running, obstacle course races, racquet sports, martial arts, and trying different sports to understand the physical and mental demand for fun and for my vocation; I enjoy having superficial and deep discussions about sociopolitics, health, and life-hacks.
Tell us about a life changing experience or adventure you’ve been on
When I started doing long distance mountain running alone, it was the most freeing moment for me that made me realize that I am more capable than how I perceived myself to be which lead me to enjoy stuff alone
What is your area of expertise
My expertise revolved around exercise for general health and wellness and physical performance, and physical rehabilitation for MSK, Orthopaedic, Neurologic, and Geriatric Conditions in a form of load management.
What is the most fulfilling part of job?
Creating a therapeutic alliance between myself, my colleagues, and my patients; seeing my patients to be their own advocates and improve their independence physically, mentally, and emotionally.
