Anna Fuhrmann[edit | edit source]
My wish to become a physiotherapist was born when I worked full-time as a volunteer in a orthopaedic and rheumatologic rehabilitation clinic in Aachen, Germany between 2014 - 2015. I was lucky to be able to start my physiotherapy training at the University Hospital of the RWTH Aachen right after finishing my volunteer position. During my three years of education there, I worked in many different clinics, amongst others in trauma surgery, the neurology- and aphasia-ward, the paediatric and neonatal clinic, obstetrics, psychiatry and different intensive care units. After the first year of training, I also started my academic career with the University of Applied Sciences in Aachen. A year after completing my physiotherapy training (which is the official certification needed to work as a physio in Germany), I obtained my B.Sc. in Physiotherapy in 2019.
Intrigued by not just the micro-universe that a patient resembles, but also by the macro-universe of global health systems and social determinants of health, I enrolled in a programme at the University of Barcelona. In July 2020, I successfully graduated with a master's degree in Global Health. My master's project revolved around the possibility to use physical activity as a culturally-sensitive coping mechanism for traumatised refugees and asylum seekers.
My fascination with movement and the human body, specifically the correlation between bio-psycho-social aspects, and a persons' health potential drives my interest in contributing to the Physiopedia website as a global source for information about the physiotherapy profession!
