Since 1998, World Physiotherapy Day has been celebrated every 8 September. Each year, the day focuses on a health-related topic, and in 2024, low back pain was chosen as the theme.

To celebrate World Physiotherapy Day, the Europe Region of World Physiotherapy and the European Pain Federation (EFIC) organised a joint webinar on the role of physiotherapy in low back pain.

The event was a great success with more than 700 people registered and it is now available on the Europe Region’s YouTube channel!

The Europe Region would like to thank the European Pain Federation (EFIC) and all the physiotherapists who took part in the webinar for celebrating with us this important day for physiotherapy:
