Kabul, Tue 05 May, 2009

A 42-year-old teacher from Kabul came to PTI after three months of suffering from pain in her back and right leg.

She could not walk properly and needed a stick for support. She had tried medication, but it was not helping. She was afraid that, although she loved her job, she would no longer be able to work due to the pain. One of the physiotherapists examined her and found the problem.

After two weeks of physiotherapy, the woman could walk pain-free without a stick. She learned how to prevent further back injuries and was taught some exercises to do at home. She was able to continue to work and is grateful for the difference PTI has made in her life.
