KNGF - Physical Therapist Day
This year, the Day of the Physical Therapist was once again organized by the Royal Dutch Society for Physical Therapy (KNGF) at DeFabrique. More than 1,600 physical therapists attended lectures on science, professional topics, innovation, and entrepreneurship, participated in workshops, and explored the latest innovations and products on the exhibition floor.
About KNGF
The Royal Dutch Society for Physical Therapy (KNGF) is the leading organization in the field of physical therapy in the Netherlands. The KNGF advocates for the interests of its members, ensures quality, promotes professional expertise, and provides services to its 19,000 members.
Effective Networking
According to KNGF Chair Guusje ter Horst, the main purpose of Physiotherapist Day is to get to know colleagues in the field. This was possible, for example, at the KNGF Meeting Plaza, but also during the various breaks between the plenary sessions and breakout sessions (held in all rooms at DeFabrique). The Science Square also lent itself well to interaction; over 100 studies on physical therapy were presented here. A great source for consultation and discussion.
Big names
Leading figures from the world of sports and physical activity engaged with students and professionals throughout the day. For example, seven-time Paralympic tennis champion Esther Vergeer spoke about perseverance and coping with setbacks. Trend watcher Richard van Hooijdonk looked ahead to the future of healthcare in 2030. Finally, the prestigious Fysio in Beeld, James Gerlag, and Jaco den Dekker thesis awards were presented. Plenty of inspiration for the coming year!
