It all began with a tiny newspaper advertisement which read, “Only one vacancy for the post of a Navy Physiotherapist” in the year 2013. My eyes sparkled and I thought of giving it a try. So I went for the interview which included a  panel of 7 navy officers. A week later I got a call that I had been selected for the same. A bag of mixed feelings rushed through me. This was the first branch to be opened in Mumbai. The major qualities of being an ideal navy physiotherapist should be that of professionalism, punctuality, determination, immense knowledge over one’s subject and dedication. The role of a navy physiotherapist encompasses a much wider set of skills than civilian physiotherapists. We had to get the injured navy officers back to normal before our promotion and their transfer. Passion to work for my country is an essential thought that needs to be engraved in one’s mind if you are into such kind of a profession. Thus, I would like to end by saying it was a privilege working as a navy physiotherapist. I thoroughly had a beautiful and a different experience.
