Let’s spread the word – Physio’s are here to help!

Getting ready for the World Physiotherapy (PT) day this week, which falls in our South African Physio Society’s usual national back care week.

This year’s theme is Rehabilitation after Covid-19.

This is such an important topic and there is so much need for awareness in South Africa of the ongoing role physiotherapy should have in assisting people post Covid-19. Whether a patient survived severe illness in hospital, or mild symptoms at home, they should have access to ongoing care and rehabilitation to assist in a full recovery.

Rehabilitation after #covid19 is the focus for this year’s World PT Day on 8 September. Resources are now available on our website: world.physio/worldptday2020
