Winston Churchill was so right when he made such a profound statement with regard to success. Don’t we all say that success is not a destination but a journey in itself? However, it is an arduous journey full of challenges, roadblocks, obstacles and what not. But then, nothing important was ever achieved without someone taking a chance, without someone going the extra mile, without someone defying the odds to excel and be the best. It is this monomaniacal focus that opens doors of multiple possibilities.

In this issue, we introduce to you one such gritty woman, whose dedication, determination and passion made her create history and bring laurels for the entire nation. It gives us immense pleasure to present an exclusive interview with one of the poster girls of Indian Olympics in Rio, Sakshi Malik, the only female wrestler to have ever won a medal at the Olympics. Her feat is truly extraordinary, notwithstanding the struggle she had to undergo in this exhilarating journey from Rohtak to Rio. The interview focuses on the role of physiotherapy in her career and how the contribution of a physio matters during tournament as well as while training in the prevention and management of injuries in a high contact sport like wrestling.

It is heartening to note that Sakshi has emphatically stated how crucial physios are to them in their sport. We thank Sakshi for her encouraging remarks about physiotherapists.

Apart from various scholarly articles, the issue features coverage of a nation-wide series of seminars on Marketing in Physiotherapy initiated by PHYSIOTIMES in various cities under the title “Marketing Mantra”. The seminar is intended to horn the marketing and management skills of physios so that they can better manage their practice. The issue has also covered stories of the World Physiotherapy Day celebrations across India on Sept 8, 2016.
