*HAPPY PHYSIOTHERAPY DAY* Movement and exercise are fundamental to leading a healthy, happy life – whatever age you may be. The World Health Organization says that inactivity is one of the leading preventable causes of death worldwide, and has made physical activity a public health priority. Lack of exercise is a significant risk factor for chronic non-communicable diseases (NCDs) like heart disease, stroke, cancer, chronic respiratory diseases, and diabetes – which now make up 60% of all deaths. Not only that, but lack of exercise can cause lasting disability. The profession of PHYSIOTHERAPY helps millions of people every year to prevent and manage the effects of NCDs, along with the effects of inactive lifestyles, aging, illness, accidents, and the stresses and strains of life. Physiotherapists specialise in human movement and physical activity. They identify physical and other factors that prevent people from being as active and independent as they can be, and then they find ways of overcoming them. Every year on 8th September, physiotherapists around the world use World Physiotherapy Day to draw attention to the contribution the profession can make to the health of individuals and nations. The message is “Movement for Health”.We’re promoting the message that keeping fit is an investment for the future, no matter how old you are. We want people to be “Fit for life”.Physiotherapists can help them overcome physical problems that may restrict ability to move. Physical activity doesn’t just mean more healthy people, but happier more productive people, whether young or aging. It’s time for all of us to be fit for the future. HAPPY PHYSIOTHERAPY DAY !!
