World PT day – 8 sept 2026
June 13, 2026
World PT Day takes place every year on 8 September. In 2026 the theme will be cardiovascular disease and stroke.
The toolkit for World PT Day 2026 is now available, and includes information sheets, posters, banners, a t-shirt design, social media graphics, and an activities guide. These materials are aimed at the general public, and promote the role of physiotherapy and physical activity in the prevention, management, and rehabilitation of cardiovascular disease and stroke.
A resource list for facts is also available, along with an advocacy toolkit for physiotherapists to use to advocate for their role in cardiovascular disease and stroke to governments, patient groups, decision makers and policy makers.
The day marks the unity and solidarity of the global physiotherapy community. It is an opportunity to recognise the work that physiotherapists do for their patients and community. Using World PT Day as a focus, World Physiotherapy aims to support member organisations in their efforts to promote the profession and advance their expertise.
