How to write my physiotherapy personal statement

I feel like everyone just writes about their love of sports and their injuries but I have neither. I am interested in physiotherapy because I enjoy seeing patients progress in their recovery and I like seeing how muscles are affected by severe trauma. How can I convey this?

talk about how you know that physiotherapists provide patient-centred care and work with and treat the patient throughout their healthcare journey
you should talk about how you know this through work experience, volunteering or research into the career
an easy thing to do is link it to your a level biology where you learnt about muscles and the way the work blah blah blah

i hope that's helpful to get you started!

actually this is exactly what they want. Physio courses rarely give interviews to people that just discuss their sport as MSK/sport is a very small part of being a physio. Plus the courses are run by the nhs therefore are looking for people wanting to work for the nhs to help people.
My statement didn’t talk about how sport made me want to do physio rather that it introduced me to the career and with further research I discovered specialties that interested me such as neuro, cardioresp and paeds. Delve into the experience or reading you’ve done around physio, I work part time as a care assistant and offered to help or observe the physios that came in where possible. Talk about how seeing them work makes you feel which is obvious in how you already want to do physio to see the improvement in your patients.
