World Physical Therapy Day

World Physical Therapy Day is observed every year on September 8.

It is celebrated to raise awareness about the critical role of physical therapists and chronic pain therapies in keeping people healthy and fit.

Physical therapists attempt to treat an injury or deformity, educate patients about healthy behaviors, and restore lost or damaged functionality.

Chronic pain is linked to a variety of medical diseases, including low back pain, cervical and thoracic pain, shoulder pain, headache problems, cancer, fibromyalgia, muscular dystrophy, and osteoarthritis.
