A message from Maggie Roth, Physical Therapist and Women's Health Coach at Ribbon Physical Therapy and Wellness in Lemont
When I initially chose my career as a physical therapist, people asked, “Why did you go into physical therapy?” and my answer was simply, “To help people.” Over the past 10 years, my reasons for “helping people” have grown just as I have, both in and out of the clinic.
Since entering the healthcare world, I have taken on a few other roles over the years – a wife and a mother to my two children. But beyond adding roles to my life, a few of my current roles have changed. I have always been one of two daughters to my parents. However, I have found that my role has flourished beyond relying on them for advice to also assisting and guiding them through the functional challenges/transitions they face with aging.
Change is inevitable. I recognize this personally from biological, psychological, and social perspectives. We are constantly changing into new forms of ourselves. However, this can be tough to embrace.
Now, I can say that I have truly developed a passion for helping people recognizing difficult changes at different transitions/challenges in their lives and embracing new methods to improve their quality of life at a functional level.
