HAPPY WORLD PHYSIOTHERAPY DAY

I take this opportunity to extend my warmest wishes to the physiotherapists of Sikkim and the world for their work in helping people live a pain free life. Healing people to live a life free from injuries and pain is a form of compassion. Physiotherapists are involved in such important work that not only helps people dealing with chronic pain from injuries but disabilities too. On World Physiotherapy Day, I extend my best wishes to physiotherapists and congratulate them for the important work they are doing.

I am also happy that during our SDF tenure, we established a Sikkim Manipal College of Physiotherapy in Sikkim Manipal University, which was the first Physiotherapy college in Northeast India. We also sent students to Manipal Academy of Higher Education (MAHE), Karnataka for their education in Physiotherapy free of cost in 2009. We look forward to doing more of such work for the Physiotherapy discipline in Sikkim in the future.

Wishing you a very happy World Physiotherapy Day!

World Physiotherapy Day is observed on 8 September each year. It was first observed in 1951. Later in 1996, World Physiotherapy Day was designated as World PT Day. It strives to create awareness about the crucial role of physiotherapy in keeping people healthy. World PT Day is also an opportunity to thank and recognize the work of physiotherapists all across the world for their contribution in the medical field.
