Physiotherapist is no doubt the most handy health professionals in the world.
Sometimes I am amazed on Their patience in handling patients,touching them and giving them appropriate care and encouragement.
Treating them on a every visit and involving the patient holistically in the treatment procedures.
They are indeed and unarguably the best health providers in the world.

It is noteworthy, that the first characteristic of living things we are made to know is Movement. And also poetic, that the first sign of life is movement, from the "kicking of a baby" in the womb to the opening of its mouth to let out a cry when born. It is hence in the bounds of reason to equate movement to life and quintessential to work (and walk) to preserve the ability to move; this is a major cornerstone in the profession "Physical Therapy/Physiotherapy".

Physiotherapists are thoroughly trained health care professionals who specialise in evaluation and treatment of persons with functional limitations, impairments, and disabilities. Physical therapists practice in a variety of settings, working with patients that span age ranges from the neonate to the elderly. They may work in acute care hospitals; acute, sub-acute, or day rehabilitation centers; skilled nursing facilities; or outpatient facilities to name a few. They spread over a range of specialty including the following areas; cardiovascular and pulmonary, clinical electrophysiology, geriatrics, neurology, orthopedics, pediatrics, sports, and women’s health physical therapy.

On this day, September 8, consecrated to be the day the world celebrates Physiotherapy annually and with this year's theme *"Physical activity for life"* I join my force and voice to celebrate this noble profession and to encourage us all in this world of hyper-conveniences to prioritise Physical activity.

*You are not too healthy to see a Physiotherapist*

Thanks.
Keep moving.
