Why World PT Day matters
In 1996, 8 September was designated as World PT Day. This is the date World
Physiotherapy
was founded in 1951.
The day marks the unity and solidarity of the global
physiotherapy
community. It is an opportunity to recognise the work that
physiotherapists
do for their patients and community. Using World PT Day as a focus, World
Physiotherapy
aims to support member organisations in their efforts to promote the profession and advance their expertise.
Reports from around the world indicate that World PT Day activities have a positive impact on the profession’s profile and standing with both the public and policy makers.
Many World
Physiotherapy
member organisations already have their own national
physiotherapy
days, weeks and months. However, organisations that have no designated day of their own often choose 8 September.
