My Job!

I work as a physiotherapist in a private practice. I only work with children from about 6-9 months to 12 years of age. We specialize into pediatrics and psychomotricity. Our little patients suffer from developmental disorders such as minor motor malfunctioning, attention disorders, hyperactivity, spatial disorders, writing disorders, visuo spatial processing disorders and so on. Most of them come twice a week for a 30 minutes session. The treatments last from about 3 months to a couple of years... Those children go to normal school and look perfectly normal. They just have little problems that could have bad consequences on their future if not taken care of. It is a very rewarding job since the process of growth itself makes things improve. I always have to be inventive and imaginative so I never get bored.
The photo is of one of the 4 rooms we have (there are 5 of us working there most of the time). We have plenty of games, furnitures and special accessories which make the children love their treatments. They actually have a lot of fun while they work!
