"Too Small for Physiotherapy" is a frank and humorous account of Grace Dorey's childhood, overshadowed by a controlling mother and a laid-back father. Despite her desire to be a ballerina, her mother persuaded her to train to be a physiotherapist, and after four hospitals refused her, she was accepted by The London Hospital in Whitechapel.

Too Small for Physiotherapy is a candid and occasionally humorous memoir of Grace Dorey's upbringing, which was overshadowed by a domineering mother and a laid-back father, whom she adored. Her mother insisted that her home life revolve around Union Church in Totteridge. Grace had a deep desire to become a ballerina, but this aspiration was discouraged, and the door was sadly closed. Despite her lack of knowledge about physiotherapy, her mother persuaded her to pursue this training. After facing rejection from four hospitals in London due to her diminutive size, Grace finally secured a place to study physiotherapy at The London Hospital in Whitechapel.

This book serves as a prequel to Rubbed Up the Wrong Way: A Physiotherapists Story.
