What do you do? I’m a Physical Therapist with Foothills Sports Medicine and received a degree from Washington University in St Louis. Physical Therapy is often an occupation neglected by Asians. As such, it is very rare for me to see Asians in my clinical practice as many of them would rather take prescription drugs or seek oriental medicine. It’s not easy to convince my immediate Asian circle of what we do and the potential benefits of exercise and strengthening. I usually get the you’re a doctor? Oh…. That kind of doctor. However, there seems to be a growing awareness of the importance of physical health in the Asian community which is promising. I hope to one day go back to Taiwan and change the entire practice of physical therapy in Taiwan.
