For every £1 spent on physiotherapy, the UK benefits by £4.
The first independent national economic analysis of physiotherapy’s impact – published today – shows physio saves the NHS more than it costs and actively boosts economic growth.

Physio staff deliver life-changing rehab to stroke survivors like David every day.
Yet only 1 in 3 physios say they have enough staff to do their jobs properly. That is not good enough.
There must be urgent investment in services & the workforce.

Today is #WorldStrokeDay!🧠💔
#Stroke is “a brain attack” which can cause permanent damage to our brain cells.
The goal of #physiotherapy after a stroke is to help the patient re-learn the lost skills according to the part of the brain affected, for a better #QualityOfLife.

In catastrophes & emergencies, access to #MentalHealth services is not a luxury, it’s a right.
Physiotherapists play a vital role in supporting recovery, reducing distress & restoring function.
Access to mental health services should never be neglected
