Sit Less – Move More!

8th September 2026

World Physiotherapy Day is observed on 8 September each year. The day celebrates the work of physiotherapists and the vital role they play in health promotion, prevention, treatment and rehabilitation.

This year’s theme is cardiovascular disease and stroke. Among other things, the campaign highlights the importance of physical activity in prevention and rehabilitation under the slogan: Sit Less – Move More!

Regular physical activity matters at every stage of life. Physiotherapists support people in safely becoming more physically active, improving their function and mobility, and regaining greater independence following illness or injury.

On World Physiotherapy Day, we extend our sincere thanks to physiotherapists for their important and varied work in the service of patients.
