november2023 6th Conference on Physiotherapy
in Piestany (SVK)
Slovensky Congress center, Spa Island, Piešťany Dear Friends,
this year we are meeting for the sixth time in Piešťany at the International scientific conference on Physiotherapy. Over the past years, this conference has found a firm place in the calendar of scientific events, and it should also be emphasized that it is also the largest event of its kind in Slovakia.
The intention of this Congress is to connect physiotherapists with other specialists because physiotherapy affects all clinical medical fields but is also very useful for healthy people in terms of prevention and a healthy lifestyle. This year main theme is Physiotherapy in an interdisciplinary context.
This year, university institutions from Slovakia, the Czech Republic, Poland, and Slovenia are participating in the organization of the Conference.
We are looking forward, the event will be held in the picturesque spa town of Piešťany, where physiotherapy naturally belongs. I believe that here you will gain new strength and get creative inspiration for your work and last but not least you will make new friendships during informal sessions.
On behalf of the organizing committee, I wish our international scientific conference a lot of success.
Piešťany, June 12, 2023
Juraj Štofko
