The first time I remember being drawn to study kinesiology was at a tennis camp when I was about fifteen years old. I remember I was practicing for a tournament when my knee got severely injured. I was immediately sent to a hospital where I had to go through surgery.
I was stressed I couldn’t recover on time but the doctor came up to me and said the thing I never wanted to hear “folk you better not play again or your knee is done”. 

The recovery was way worse than expected I had to live with agonizing pain for months that was like a hundred megawatts hitting my knee every second.

we tried every single specialist in my area and the worst part was that doctors couldn’t do much about my pain but prescribe painkillers. Living in physical pain depressed me, I felt worthless and angry that I will never achieve my dream and become a professional.

However, I was so stubborn and didn’t want to give up that easily that even with that intense pain I secretly started exercising. In the months coming I started to feel small progress.

Later, during every stage of my medical training, it was obvious to me that the key to healing was understanding how the human organism works. When I was in China however I was stuck by the contrast between the incredible complexity of the mind and the ways that we human beings are connected and attached to one other, and how little doctors knew about the origins of the problems they were treating. The vast increase in knowledge about the basic processes that underlie body pain has also opened up new possibilities to palliate or even reverse the damage.
