#WorldPTDay, initiated and organized by World Physiotherapy, is an annual event on the 8th of September. In 2023, this day will center its focus on arthritis, focusing on various forms of inflammatory arthritis, such as rheumatoid arthritis and axial spondyloarthritis.
The IOPTMH wishes to commemorate this significant occasion by emphasizing the crucial role of mental health in individuals living with arthritis. As physiotherapists, we have a significant responsibility in addressing and enhancing the mental well-being of our patients. Please find below, on the poster, five essential facts regarding the intersection of arthritis and mental health.
