What is World Physical Therapy Day?

World Physical Therapy Day, observed on September 8th, honours the physical therapists who help people recover from injury, surgery, and chronic conditions through movement and exercise. Established in 1996 by World Physiotherapy on the anniversary of its own 1951 founding, the day celebrates the global community of clinicians who keep humanity moving.
