Allied Health All-Stars Celebrating Physiotherapy in September
World Physiotherapy Day was held on Monday 8 September 2025. The theme focuses on the role of physiotherapy and physical activity in healthy ageing, with a special spotlight on preventing frailty and falls. Physiotherapists play a key role in helping people maintain mobility, independence and quality of life as they age. Preventing frailty and falls is essential for keeping older adults active, confident and connected to their community.
To support this year’s theme, introductory information sheets are available on:
