Introduction[edit | edit source]

Physiopedia is the result of voluntary contributions from an amazing group of altruistic individuals and organisations that wish to contribute to pubic knowledge related to rehabilitation. The Physiopedia Awards Programme recognises and features the diligence and efforts of people who have made significant and impactful contributions. These awards also serve to showcase the impact these contributions are having on the global rehabilitation professions.
