So much reward for Vrunda in physio role

To celebrate World Physiotherapy Day, we put the story of dedicated Juniper Physiotherapist Vrunda Dave in the spotlight.

For Vrunda, seeing firsthand the incredible difference that the physiotherapy had made to a family member’s life motivated her to pursue the profession.

While growing up, Vrunda was inspired by the support her uncle received from a physiotherapist following a stroke.

“He went from a paraplegic to full recovery, and I found it (physiotherapy) could empower people and enable them to go back to work and improve their mobility,” Vrunda said.

“You can help every single age group – the sky’s the limit.”

Originally from Gujakat on the western coast of India, Vrunda completed her physiotherapy qualifications in 2015 and went onto work in an Ahmedabad hospital for several years, supporting paediatric and aged care clients.

In 2022, Vrunda moved to Perth and before long landed a role as a part time Therapy Assistant with Juniper.

With support from Juniper’s Allied Health team, Vrunda embarked on securing her Australian physiotherapist accreditation from Australian Health Practitioner Registration Agency (AHPRA).

“The team is amazing – I know I can check in with them at any time so we can achieve better outcomes for our customers,” Vrunda said.
