Sport physical therapy is not only rehabilitation, but also prevention and sustainability 🌱💪
The IFSPT at the World Physiotherapy Congress 2025 highlighted the importance of a global approach to athlete health: preventing injuries, managing risk factors, and promoting longer, safer sports careers.
A commitment that I embrace as an integral part of my daily clinical practice.
La fisioterapia sportiva non è solo riabilitazione, ma prevenzione e sostenibilità 🌱💪
L’IFSPT al World Physiotherapy Congress 2025 ha evidenziato l’importanza di un approccio globale alla salute dell’atleta: prevenire infortuni, gestire i fattori di rischio e promuovere carriere sportive più lunghe e sicure.
Un impegno che sento come parte integrante della mia pratica clinica quotidiana.
✨ International Perspective in the International Journal of Sports Physical Therapy ✨🌍
IFSPT is proud to share a new International Perspective, co-authored with Suzanne Gard, Eva Uršej, Derya Özer Kaya, Florian Forelli and Mina Samukawa:
👉 The International Federation of Sports Physical Therapy at the World Physiotherapy Congress 2025: Shaping a Global Commitment to Sustainable Athlete Health
This perspective reflects on the IFSPT Clinical Seminar at the World Physiotherapy Congress 2025 in Tokyo, highlighting how sports physiotherapists worldwide can drive sustainable athlete health through:
✅ Primary prevention – encouraging multisport participation and appropriate load management in youth
✅ Secondary prevention – guiding evidence-based rehabilitation and safe return-to-sport
✅ Tertiary prevention – promoting career longevity through interdisciplinary collaboration and athlete education
🔑 Key message: Sustainable performance depends on sustainable health — and this is a global responsibility.
We are grateful to our co-authors and the IFSPT community for advancing international dialogue on prevention, rehabilitation, and athlete-centered care 💪🌱
