She said World Physiotherapy had developed and amplified technical information, created connection between physiotherapists around the world, established an education task group of physiotherapy educators, organised the organisation’s first online congress, and advocated with and on behalf of member organisations.

The framework positions components of physiotherapist education along the lifelong learning continuum, and provides guidance for physiotherapist entry level education and continuing professional development (CPD). It also provides a description of the domains of physiotherapist practice competence that must be achieved in an entry level education programme and maintained throughout active practice.

In the past decade, not enough progress has been made to improve physical activity worldwide, with adolescents and people living with disabilities (PLWD) among the least likely populations to have the support needed to meet WHO’s physical activity guidelines.
