Dear Colleagues,
It is my great pleasure and honour to welcome you to the 1st International & 10th National Congress of Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation.
Physiotherapy and rehabilitation are evolving rapidly, driven by advances in scientific knowledge, digital health, emerging technologies, and increasingly personalised approaches to patient care. In this dynamic landscape, our profession has a vital role in translating scientific evidence and innovation into meaningful improvements in health, function, participation, and quality of life.
Our congress aims to provide a vibrant scientific platform bringing together leading international and national experts, researchers, clinicians, educators, and young professionals from across the field of physiotherapy and rehabilitation. Through keynote lectures, invited sessions, scientific presentations, workshops, and interactive discussions, we will explore both established evidence and emerging perspectives shaping the future of our profession.
The scientific programme will encompass a broad spectrum of contemporary physiotherapy and rehabilitation, including musculoskeletal rehabilitation, neurological rehabilitation, cardiopulmonary rehabilitation, pelvic health and women's health, paediatric rehabilitation, geriatric rehabilitation, sports rehabilitation, pain and chronic conditions, as well as digital health, artificial intelligence, rehabilitation technologies, and personalised rehabilitation.
Beyond the scientific programme, we hope to create an environment where ideas are exchanged openly, new collaborations are established, and meaningful professional connections are developed across countries and disciplines. We particularly value the participation of early-career researchers and young professionals, whose curiosity, innovation, and vision will shape the future of physiotherapy and rehabilitation.
As we celebrate the 10th National Congress while opening a new chapter with our 1st International Congress, we aspire to build a meeting that reflects both the rich academic heritage of physiotherapy and rehabilitation in Türkiye and its growing international presence.
We warmly invite you to join us in Turkiye for an inspiring scientific experience, to share your knowledge and expertise, to connect with colleagues from around the world, and most importantly, to shape the future of physiotherapy and rehabilitation together.
We look forward to welcoming you to İstanbul.
With my sincere regards,
