Physiotherapists play key role at Tokyo Olympic Games Physiotherapists have played a key role at the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games, and formed the largest single group of healthcare professionals onsite, reflecting athletes’ reliance on physiotherapy. The Olympic physical therapy team comprised 800 physiotherapists, all members of the Japanese Physical Therapy Association (JPTA), and was led by Masaki Katayose and his senior physiotherapy team: Tatsuya Tamaki, Miwako Toyama, and Mina Samukawa.  Marie-Elaine Grant, IOC medical and scientific commission physiotherapist and member of the Irish Society of Chartered Physiotherapists, said: “Congratulations to Masaki Katayose, lead physical therapist for TOCOG, and his team, who have provided outstanding physical therapy for athletes during the Tokyo Olympic Games. Members of World Physiotherapy can be proud of the excellence with which this team has represented our profession on the world stage during these unprecedented times. “It has been an honour to collaborate with this team on the planning and preparations over four years before the Games. The professionalism, expertise and skills of the TOCOG physical therapy team has resulted in the highest standards of care in the provision of treatment, recovery, and injury prevention for athletes and will remain a valuable legacy after the Games.”

World Physiotherapy shares new constitution and regulations Over the past two years World Physiotherapy has been consulting with member organisations, regions and subgroups about regulations to support the operation of the organisation.   Our constitution is the governance framework for the organisation and was approved by the membership at the general meeting held in Geneva in May 2019.   Regulations underpin our constitution and provide detail and clarity on individual processes. The constitution defines ‘what’ needs to be done and the regulations set ‘how’ this should be done.

French and Spanish translations are in production and volunteer translators are working on versions of the framework in more languages, which will be uploaded to the website as soon as they become available.
