Today is #WorldPTDay . In the UK, 90% of people with chronic pain report improvement in mobility and pain management through physiotherapy. In Medway, where 28% of adults are classified as inactive, physiotherapists are crucial in promoting physical activity, reducing the risk of heart disease, diabetes, mental health issues as well as physical wellbeing. We are proud to be part of this solution.
