World Physiotherapy Day was celebrated on 8 September.
Established by the World Physiotherapy Organisation in 1996, we celebrate this day and reinforce the significant role that the profession plays in the health and well-being of the population.
We mark this date by giving it maximum visibility and importance, in order to raise the profile and value of the profession in maintaining and/or improving mobility and functional independence.
This year the focus of World Physiotherapy Day is "Long COVID and Rehabilitation" and the role of physiotherapists in the treatment and management of people affected by this condition.
Publicising this day reinforces everyone's commitment to promoting physiotherapy to the Portuguese community.
Congratulations to all the physiotherapists who took part in this celebration!
