On September 8, we celebrate World Physical Therapy Day, a date that aims to recognize the importance of this essential profession in promoting health, preventing disease, and supporting functional recovery.
Physical therapy is a practice that contributes to both physical and mental well-being, helping to prevent injuries, relieve pain, and provide rehabilitation after illnesses or surgeries. In addition to improving mobility and quality of life, it also plays a fundamental role in the social and professional reintegration of thousands of people around the world.
On this day, we emphasize the importance of access to quality physical therapy services, investment in specialized professionals, and raising awareness in society about the benefits of this field. It is also a moment to value the daily work of physiotherapists, who with science, dedication, and care, contribute to a healthier and more active life.
