成員部門
Members must be the national professional organisations representing physiotherapists with an interest in aquatic physiotherapy, which are recognised by the World Physiotherapy member organisation, or the World Physiotherapy member organisation itself where such a group does not exist. Members of the groups must also be members of the World Physiotherapy member organisation. Only one organisation per country shall be eligible for membership.
Membership of the IOAPT specialty group is also open to physiotherapists working or interested in working in aquatic physiotherapy, that belong to a member organisation. Through your membership you will be linked with colleagues who share the same background and interests, in your own country and worldwide. We invite you to join us to discuss the future specialty group aims and objectives. Membership of the IOAPT specialty group is free. If your national association or national specialty group is not yet a proposed member organisation then consider becoming one. In the meantime, join us via social media.
