WHY PHYSIOTHERAPY?

I've always been drawn to the medical sciences and, for much of my early life, dreamed of becoming a surgeon. However, everything shifted during my final year of high school when I completed a practice placement at a local hospital in Cuenca, my hometown. It was there that I had my first meaningful encounter with physiotherapy and the world of physical rehabilitation.
I was inspired by the work I witnessed—patients arriving in wheelchairs or on crutches and, through consistent care and dedication, walking out on their own with a smile. Seeing that transformation sparked something in me and motivated me to explore the field further.
Over time, my interest in physiotherapy evolved into a deep passion for sports therapy and orthopedics, with a particular focus on shoulder rehabilitation and return-to-play strategies. Helping people recover, rebuild confidence, and return to the activities they love continues to drive my work every day.

The road has been filled with amazing experiences and people that have, each in their own way, pushed me to continue on this incredibly humbling and gratifying journey.


FUN FACTS

I'm passionate about exploring new sports, not only for the challenge but also to deepen my understanding of sport-specific injuries and how best to treat them. I enjoy starting my day at the gym, practicing yoga on weekends, and discovering new neighborhoods throughout the city. Beyond movement and physical activity, I find joy in spending time outdoors—whether it's catching a sunset, enjoying a great cup of coffee, or visiting local art galleries. Ice cream is a favorite treat, no matter the season.
I'm also a proud cat person. My cat, Lola, is a big part of my life, and weekend naps with her are one of my favorite ways to relax and recharge.
