Passion Project

This podcast started as an idea back in October 2019. I have been listening to different physical therapy podcasts since I started working here in the US in 2016. I worked in home health, so, I needed to pass the time while driving to my patients' houses.

Some of the podcast shows I listened to were about physical therapy. I've always appreciated hearing different views, experiences, and insights from the podcast episode guests that  I listen to. Then I thought, surely, there are Filipino Physical Therapists out there who are doing the same things as these guests are doing. And that's why I wanted to start this podcast.

 

The podcast aims to:

  • showcase Filipino physical therapists and their advocacies, fields of practice, and specialties
  • share inspiring information, insights and ideas to fellow Filipino Physical Therapists regarding the physical therapy profession and practice, and
  • empower the Filipino physical therapists through the valuable experience and expertise of fellow Filipino physical therapists.

In short, a podcast of Filipino physical therapists for Filipino physical therapists by a Filipino physical therapist.
