Angel Comfort
@angelcomfort
Compassionate physiotherapist focused on restoring function and improving patients' quality of life.
What I'm looking for
I am a soon-to-graduate physiotherapist with hands-on experience across hospital, community and NGO settings, delivering person-centered care to pediatric, elderly and orthopedic patients. I use evidence-based practice to assess, prescribe assistive devices, and design tailored home exercise programmes.
I have completed clinical placements at regional referral hospitals, health centers and foundations where I managed inpatient and outpatient caseloads, performed assistive device prescription and improvised locally appropriate solutions when resources were limited. I also led presentations, maintained clinical records, and practiced reflective learning to improve outcomes.
I bring leadership experience from student governance and community projects, a certificate in the World Mental Health Gap Action Programme, and active research on barriers to assistive device use among lower-limb amputees. I am dedicated, teachable and committed to restoring functioning and adding life to years.
