PHYSIOTIMES - July - August 2016

En este asunto

The choices we make and the chances we take, determine our destiny. They make us special, put a bar of distinction between us and everyone else. Every successful person goes through struggle, but they choose to fight rather than doing what others say. This issue is a tribute to one such champion & a sportswoman who has made India proud with her glorious achievements, Mary Kom - A five-time world amateur boxing champion.

We are privileged and honoured to present an exclusive interview with the legendary boxer. Apart from the other aspects of her life, the interview covers the role of Physiotherapy in her career. We are glad to share that she has lauded the physios for their critical role in a sports person’s performance. In her own words, “Physiotherapists are my closest mates next to coaches.” We express our deepest gratitude to Mary Kom on behalf of the Physiotherapy Community for her inspiring comments. In this issue, we have presented the views and experiences of some of the Indian physios who had accompanied our athletes at the Rio Olympics 2016, to dissect what goes in the making of Olympians & champions & the role they are required to play in such events.

This issue also contains the results of the “POSTER DESIGN CONTEST” we had announced in the previous issue. We congratulate all the winners and thank all the participants. This issue of PHYSIOTIMES marks the beginning of our 8th volume and 43rd consecutive issue. THANK YOU READERS !!! Let me also wish you a very Happy World Physiotherapy Day. I am sure you all would have celebrated this special day in your own way. Do write to
us in brief along with the pictures and we shall publish them in our next issue.

In the end, I would reiterate that if you don’t go after what you want, you’ll never have it. Do write to us on feedback@physiotimes.com with your valuable comments & feedback.
