The Chamber of Physiotherapists of Kosovo took part in World Physical Therapy Day 2019 by initiating a campaign to raise awareness about the crucial role of exercise and physical activity for chronic pain.
Many students of the University of Prishtina volunteered to help promote physiotherapy amongst the community, explaining the role of physiotherapy and how it is used to manage and control chronic pain. The promotional programme was held in the center of municipality of Prishtina. A training programme of exercises was also held in Germia park in Prishtina, involving people with chronic pain in the exercise group and in this way raising awareness toward exercises and physical activity.
The vice president of the Chamber of Physiotherapists was invited onto national radio and television of Kosovo in the morning programme. Discussions centred around the activities that were being held to celebrate the day and this year's chronic pain theme.
World Physical Therapy Day was well organised, ran smoothly and was enjoyed by all the participants, the objectives were fully achieved and the activities received great attention by the community.
