Physiotherapy Week 2016 – Free State
Move for your health!
On Movement for Health Day, the Free State Physiotherapists promoted enhancing
your health by including a little more movement in everyday life. This was done at a
provincial drummie competition at Jim Fouche Primary School (JF) as part of world
Movement for Health Day (10 May).
At this event the JF provincial sport star, Emma Swart, who is supported by the
SASPFS via sponsor to reach her dreams and achieve her goals to become a top
sport star, assisted in the promotion and marketing of the profession as well as
Movement for Health Day to promote a little more movement in everyday life
amongst children. The learner played a role in the marketing strategy by
wearing/using the branded/corporate items (sports bottle, towel, t-shirt, pen, keyring
etc.) during her sports activities, school time, and exercise and before and after
competitions etc.
The SASPFS Physiotherapists also put up the branded inflatable events tent at the
competition and educated and assisted with sport injuries during the competition
were needed. Marketing materials including the yoyos and Frisbees were distributed
amongst the spectators.
Private Practices
In private practices the Free State Physiotherapists also had exhibitions in their
practices and distribute the marketing materials and also educate their patients were
possible on the theme of Physiotherapy Week 2016.
In general: The Physiotherapy Week 2016 in the Free State was a very successful.
Thank you.
