Meet Pauline Khoo, a certified physiotherapist in Singapore. She tore her ACL when she was in JC, and that experience made her discover her passion to pursue physiotherapy as a career.
People often think physiotherapist don't have much medical knowledge, and that they just do massages or teach exercises. The truth is, they have to obtain sufficient qualification and are subject to regulation by the Ministry of Health.
Their work involves working closely with orthopaedic doctors to come up with the best plan to help with a patient's rehabilitation.
