*World Physical Therapy Day*: 8th September.



Today is a *World Physical Therapy Day* The day is an opportunity for physical therapists from all over the world to raise awareness about the crucial contribution the profession makes to keeping people well, mobile and independent.



The overarching theme for World Physical Therapy Day each year is Movement for Health. This year, the suggested message is “Add life to years”, highlighting the important role that physical therapists play in healthy ageing.



Physio Therapy is a Physical rehabilitation. Physio Therapist do not prescribe or offer any medicine intake, but provide physical healing 'touch'.



For the likes of Neuro, Ortho or even, Cardio, Physiotherapy acts as an Add On; it will not be an exaggeration to boast and equate Physiotherapy to icing on the cake ie after successful medical treatment and/or surgery. Helps to keep the 'body' (of the mind, body and soul' fame) fighting fit!



Every profession has some quantity of sour grapes n rotten eggs; but that doesn't make entire fraternity as money extractors! Ignore them and acknowledge n appreciate 'Real' others.



Happy *World Physiotherapy day* to all, and specifically to *my son Mihir*, a soon to be a Bachelor of Physiotherapy!



Wishing you all very happy, hale n hearty, seven dimensions of Wellness.



*Seven dimensions of wellness*



*Mind* is Intellectual - learn

*Soul* is Spiritual - peace

*Social* - awareness

*Emotional* - being

*Environmental* - consious

*Occupational* - fulfillment



And



*Body* is *Physical, Fitness...*
