Physical therapists specialize in motion diagnosis, training and prevention and treats from bedridden clients to elite athletes. They identify motion problems and other problems that deter people from being active and independent, as well as taking care of their clients’ subjective, emotional and social well-being. They find ways for people to increase participation through treatment, rehabilitation, training and motivation. In this way they improve their lives for the benefit of their clients and society.

The theme for this year’s World PT Day is the role of physiotherapy and physical activity in healthy ageing, with a focused look at preventing frailty and falls.

We congratulate all physiotherapists on their day – thank you for your invaluable work.
