World Physiotherapy was founded on 8 September 1951, and in 1996, this date was officially designated as World PT Day.
But World PT Day is more than just a celebration for physiotherapists.
It is an opportunity to raise awareness of the important role physiotherapists play in helping people maintain and restore movement and function, improve health, and participate in everyday life.
