position to start professional physical therapist career in United States. I am a licensed

and I consider my ability and background experiences as well as qualifications can stand

comparison with those from U.S educated physical therapist.

I am proud to mention that my precise and professional physical therapy services have been

commended by all my clients repeatedly. My ability to evaluate a patient’s condition and devise

an individualized therapeutic plan accordingly has won the confidence of many patients. In

addition, the experiences of consulting/treating a number of foreign client cases have highly

trained myself confidently proficient in communication in English. I am highly skillful in

orthopedic and neurologic physical therapy field and I am practiced in all popular physical

therapy procedures that aide in enhancing strength and flexibility and improving and

maintaining spinal alignment along with assisting in motor control and reducing pain and

discomfort.
