September 8 marks #WorldPTDay. The theme for this year is #lowbackpain.

Globally, low back pain is the single leading cause of disability. In 2020, it affected 619 million people, which is estimated to grow to 843 million by 2050. Despite this, low back pain and other musculoskeletal conditions are not prioritised on the global health agenda.

Physiotherapists play an important role in the prevention, treatment and management of low back pain.
