What we do

Where there is no physio

Welcome to DevelopingPhysio (Teaching Skills) development work

With one third of the world (2.5 billion people) having no rehabilitation, we believe that until every community can access qualified physiotherapists, offering a  basic skill set in rehabilitation to any community remains essential. We are therefore developing a teaching curriculum to be delivered by qualified physiotherapists in collaboration with in-country physiotherapy associations.

LIVE!   Global Research is now taking place for you to be heard…

Physios and health workers around the world are filling in a global survey to give their perspectives on how best physios should teach health workers in low-resources settings.  

Answers from the survey will be used to build future curriculums, empowering health-workers to treat patients who cannot otherwise access a professional physio service.

The survey is available in English, Hindi, Swahili, Arabic, French and Spanish. Please fill in the survey or find the translations here

Please note that the Global Physio Survey will close on 31st August 2025.

Please support global rehabilitation and make your voice heard.

The curriculum, split into modules, have in-built clinical reasoning, guiding a user through an assessment in picture flow diagrams, to arrive at a diagnosis and treatment plan. We believe that after the teaching physio has left the location, the community can continue to diagnose and treat patients safely.

The curriculum is written by experienced teaching physios in the field, their students and specialist physiotherapists from each clinical area. It is split into thirty teaching modules.
