World Physiotherapy Day - September 8

World Physiotherapy Day is celebrated every year on September 8—it's a global event to recognise the important and trusted role physiotherapists play in the community to improve the health of their patients.

The theme for World Physiotherapy Day 2020 is "rehabilitation after severe respiratory illness" and the role that physiotherapy and physical activity can have in helping people through recovery.

COVID-19 is something which will be at the forefront of our minds for months and possibly years to come. The physiotherapy profession is uniquely placed to step up and contribute to the challenge of helping our most vulnerable people regain independence and quality of life in ways we have never seen before. 

Thanks to all of the MNCLHD Physiotherapists out there. 

We appreciate your work!
