Celebration of World Physical Therapy Day

Medicine can help to add life whereas Physical Therapy can help to add life to years. Celebration of “World Physical Therapy Day” was continued on 13th September 2022, organized by TUF Rehabilitaion Society. This event was aimed to provide awareness about the critical role of physical therapists for chronic pain and keep people healthy and fit. Moreover, to show how Physical therapists attempt to treat an injury or deformity, educate patients about healthy behaviors, and restore lost or damaged functionality.

The celebrations and working for World Physical Therapy Day at the Department of Rehabilitation Sciences in The University of Faisalabad was not just bounded to one day only. The teachers and students of Rehabilitation Society worked for whole month to spread awareness and to contribute to the society by playing their active roles. An awareness campaign was initiated.
