Every two years, World Physiotherapy holds a large international scientific congress, bringing together the global physiotherapy profession to share innovations and ideas, and discuss implications across research, education, management, policy and clinical practice.

For 2023, the Congress will take place in Dubai, offering an unparalleled opportunity for delegates to meet with experts and colleagues from around the world to exchange knowledge and drive the industry forward.

This edition will bridge a four-year gap since the last in-person congress in Geneva in 2019, further underlining the value and importance of taking part.

The Congress is based around an extensive programme, divided across four sessions, eight discussions, 17 focused symposiums and 31 networking events. There are also 11 seminars and 10 clinical visits.

Discussion sessions cover varied topics such as long Covid, health literacy and digital practice. The networking sessions meanwhile dive into detailed specialisms including acupuncture, electrophysical agents, manual therapy and spinal cord injuries.

There will also be a separate online event for those unable to attend in person. This programme is accompanied by an exhibition, where manufacturers and other providers will showcase their products and services.
