By Paul McLaughlin, EAHAD Physiotherapists Committee member, EAHAD Regional Coordinator (UK)   Pain is a symptom of many disease processes and sometimes can be present even without a disease.

Several members of the EAHAD Physiotherapists Network attended and presented at the World Confederation for Physical Therapy (WCPT) Congress 2019, the profession’s leading global meeting in Geneva in May 2019. More than 5000 colleagues from 131 countries attended the 3-day congress to hear global perspectives showcasing the best in physiotherapy research and practice.

We welcome you to join us on 4 February for the 2020 edition of the EAHAD Multidisciplinary Pre-Congress Day.
