Every year, on 8 September, International Day of Physical Therapy is celebrated.

The theme of 2025 is healthy aging, with emphasis on prevention of frailty and falls in older people. This underlines the importance of physical therapy in healthy aging, where mobility, independence and quality of life are crucial.

The story is accompanied by a poster that most people should be able to use.

We at HSU are particularly grateful for the dynamic group of physiotherapists who work for us and wish them as well as other physiotherapists a heartfelt congratulations on their day.
