More about FirozTell us the story of why you became a physiotherapist. “I always wanted a career where I could help people directly,” says Firoz. “When I was preparing for University, I came across an article about physiotherapy. I learned that physiotherapists could help people to achieve their goals, particularly people who have long-term health conditions and injuries. I just loved the idea that physiotherapists could help people return to their day-to-day activities.”
“River East Physiotherapy has two great facilities, with all sorts of equipment for delivering a high standard of patient care. “I also appreciate being part of our group of experienced, dedicated physiotherapists. We all work as a team and learn from each other, and that’s really valuable.”
“Spending time with my patients is my favourite thing at work. I love listening to patients and finding solutions to their problems with them.”
“I’ve worked in many different areas of physiotherapy, including at Centre for the Rehabilitation of the Paralysed (CRP), in Bangladesh. The CRP is one of the largest rehabilitation centers in South Asia, and I treated so many different types of patients and conditions. “Over my career, I’ve developed a particular interest in working with those who suffer from long-term conditions, chronic pain, post-operative conditions, and neurological problems.”
“I love travelling, especially to bustling cities and to countries with mountain landscapes. Most recently I’ve travelled to London and to Switzerland. I also love reading historical fiction, watching comedy movies, and playing with my six-year old daughter.”
“I am constantly pursuing my professional development. I have participated in various professional conferences and presented my research, including at the World Physical Therapy Congress in Geneva in 2019. “I have also published several articles in peer-reviewed academic journals. My research has focused on stroke rehabilitation, health and safety amongst construction workers, back pain, and the impact of social and economic inequity on access to physiotherapy in Bangladesh. “Mentoring new physiotherapy students and new graduates was one of my responsibilities at Bangladesh Health Professions Institute. I also worked as a Health and Fitness coordinator and had the opportunity to work with young athletes.”
