In 2012, I completed my Bachelor's in Physiotherapy (B.P.T) from Father Muller Medical College, Mangalore and moved from Mangalore back to my home-town Mumbai to start my journey of practicing as a Physiotherapist and registered myself as a Member of Indian Association of Physiotherapists (M.I.A.P)I started off in July, 2012 with Leonard Cheshire home (London based NGO), as a Physiotherapist in a multi-disciplinary approach, working with a team of social workers, speech therapist and special educators. My job was identifying the disability from the grass-root level, referral to the required doctors, creating disability certificates and prescription of orthotic devices to prosthesis. I worked in slums, where my job consisted of sensitization; In schools, I worked to encourage inclusion of kids with disability in normal schools and in the Municipal Corporation, conducting work-shops for caregivers and nurses in thane municipal corporation and all of this was my major role as a Physiotherapist at the Rehab Centre.In 2013, I worked with Jupiter Hospital Cerebral Palsy (CP) Clinic.
