In a chat with Legit.ng, the young man shared his future plans.
His words:
"I will keep things simple and say, my future plans is centred around the family I want to build. Having enough and so much to take care of them and for them never to be in need of anything. That's the first goal. I am looking down the line of practice as a Sports Physiotherapist in that.
"If that is settled, I could really delve fully into studies related to NeuroPhysiotherapy and really understanding the nervous system and taking the Pain Gate Theory from being just a theory to being a Law. Study and understand its limitations and maybe prove that the nervous system can be the centre of healing.
"That way, we can have more evidence for our practice as Physiotherapist and also spread our news. So however the tide goes, I will try to row my boat against the currents.
"For my relationship, the end goal is being able to be together happy... really happy. So my future plans in Physiotherapy is very related to my relationship. It is extra nice since we are both Physiotherapists."
