Today is World Physical Therapy Day!
"It is also a day to honour physiotherapists as health professionals", in the words of the President of the Portuguese Physiotherapists Order, António Lopes.
This year, the focus of this event, organised by World Physiotherapy, is osteoarthritis, one of the health conditions with the highest levels of associated disability and a problem that affects more than 500 million people worldwide.
The Order of Physiotherapists highlights the decisive role of physiotherapists in the treatment and management of people affected by this condition in an information leaflet, which can be consulted and downloaded. here.
"Our commitment is that you can count on the Order of Physiotherapists to value and dignify the profession so that we can contribute to improving the health of citizens."
Happy World Physiotherapy Day to everyone!
