Alli Miller: A Physio's Mercy Ships Adventure
Playback speed
Volunteer Physical TherapistAlli Miller had been a physical therapist for seven years when she felt like it was time to take a break. Alli had long heard about Mercy Ships from her mom and decided now was the time to apply as a volunteer. Shortly after, Alli took off for Cameroon on her first field service. Her love for the children she cared for and the phenomenal crew that she worked with on board inspired Alli to volunteer for two more field services. In this episode Alli explains why physical therapists are an important part of the patients’ complete transformation. She also shares how much she loved being creative with her therapy practice, using new techniques and using everyday materials she found on the docks to strengthen her patients. Alli’s passion for learning, and joy in helping her patients recover will brighten your day. For more information about Mercy Ships, go to: mercyships.org Follow us on Instagram: New Mercies Podcast
