What I'm looking for

I seek pediatric/neonatal physiotherapy roles delivering hands-on and telehealth care, designing home programs, working in multidisciplinary teams, and growing clinically through diverse caseloads and teaching opportunities.

I am a motivated Doctor of Physical Therapy with experience as a consultant physiotherapist in pediatric and neonatal care, working across OPD, ICU, PICU and NICU settings. I deliver hands-on rehabilitation, telehealth consultations, and home-service care.

I specialize in manual therapy, electrotherapy, exercise therapy, mobilization and fitness training, and I design individualized home plans and discharge programs. I have treated post-surgical orthopaedic and neurosurgery patients, COVID ICU patients, and routine paediatric rehab cases.

I have supported outpatient clinics, satellite specialist services and an online consultation platform, and I have led and organized workshops and seminars on topics like sacroiliac joint adjustment and rehabilitation techniques. My academic work includes a BSc/DPT and a thesis on the prevalence of upper crossed syndrome.

I approach care with empathy and strong documentation practices, focusing on movement restoration, treatment modification and patient education. I am eager to contribute clinically, expand my skills, and collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to improve patient outcomes.
