🌍 Happy World Physiotherapy Day 2026!
This year's theme highlights the role of physiotherapy and physical activity in the prevention, management, and rehabilitation of cardiovascular disease and stroke.
To support this theme, the International Organisation of Physiotherapists in Paediatrics (IOPTP) has developed a series of paediatric-focused infographics and factsheets exploring cardiovascular health, stroke, active play, and physical activity in children and adolescents.
📌 Infographic 1: Active Play and Physical Activity in Children & Adolescents
Active play is essential for children's physical, social, emotional, and cardiovascular health. Encouraging children and young people to be active from an early age helps establish healthy habits that can reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease across the lifespan.
Visit our website to access the infographic and accompanying factsheet, along with additional World PT Day resources. We are also working with our international community to translate these materials into multiple languages, with translated resources becoming available on our website.
