NigeriaWhat I'm looking for
I am a licensed physiotherapist with hands-on experience across rehabilitation, sports, paediatrics, neurological, gynaecology/obstetrics, cardiovascular, burns and plastics, and integumentary care. I developed strong clinical decision-making, multidisciplinary collaboration, and communication skills during an internship at University of Abuja Teaching Hospital and roles at national sporting centres.
I have managed stroke survivors using the BOBATH technique, co-managed patients with acupuncture, applied various electrotherapy modalities, and designed individualized rehabilitation programs for athletes and children with disabilities. I have presented research on attitudes and barriers discussing sexual issues with patients at professional forums and remain committed to inclusive, evidence-based patient care.
