World Physiotherapy Day (World PT Day) is a global healthcare event celebrated on the 8th of September every year since 1996, commemorating the date of the World Physiotherapy foundation in 1951.

This day serves as a homage to all the physiotherapists and the services they render, achieving the ultimate goal of a symptom-free movement at basic to complex physical activities in patients and the healthy alike. 

Significance of World Physiotherapy Day - World PT Day

Patients and fitness enthusiasts typically seek out physical therapy services for physical impairments associated with movement disorders caused by injury, disease, or health-related conditions that interfere with their ability to perform or pursue any number of activities that are necessary or important to them.

?Of the many procedures employed by healthcare, therapeutic exercise takes its place as one of the key elements that lies at the centre of programs designed to improve or restore an individual’s function or to prevent dysfunction.
