World Physical Therapy Day.

Hello Everyone My Name is Vivek Chaturvedi. I am writing a vlog about World Physical Therapy Day.


World Physical Therapy Day 2021: It is observed on 8 September every year. The day provides an opportunity to recognise the work that physiotherapists do for their patients and the community. Let us read in detail about the World Physical Therapy Day, theme, history, significance, etc.

The day highlights the unity and solidarity of the global physiotherapy community. It also provides an opportunity for physiotherapists from across the world to spread awareness about the important contribution of the profession that makes in keeping people well, mobile and independent. 

World Physical Therapy Day 2021: Theme


Theme of World Physiotherapy Day 2021 This year the theme for World PT Day 2021 will focus on the last year theme – “Rehabilitation and Long COVID-19. Physiotherapists play a key role during the coronavirus pandemic in the protection of the health and security of individuals and societies all over the world.

This year's theme of World Physical Therapy Day or World PT Day will focus on rehabilitation and COVID-19. The purpose of the day is to focus on the delivery of physiotherapy through telehealth. 

Focusing on World Physical Therapy Day, the World Confederation of Physical Therapy (WCPT) aims to support the member organisations in their efforts to promote the profession and advance their expertise.

As per the several reports from across the world, the activities of World Physical Therapy Day have a positive impact on the profile of the profession and standing with both the public and policymakers. Several WCPT member organisations already have their own national physical therapy days, weeks and months. 

About Physical Therapist and Physical Therapy


In this therapy, trained professionals evaluate and treat abnormal physical functions related to injury, disability, disease, or condition. As per the American Physical Therapy Association (APTA), a physical therapist is a trained and licensed medical professional. They had experience in diagnosing physical abnormalities, restoring physical function, and mobility. They also help in maintaining physical function, promoting physical activity and proper function.  

In other words, we can say that physical therapists are those specialists that evaluate and treat disorders of the human body mainly by physical means. They primarily focus on those individuals who have disturbed function or impairment related to musculoskeletal, neurological, cardiopulmonary, and integumentary (skin) systems.
