Episode 75 - Trend Spotting with the CPTA
Description
Speakers: Jody Prohar and Leanne Loranger
Every other year World Physiotherapy hosts a conference to bring together clinicians, researchers, and policy makers from around the world to discuss matters of importance to the physiotherapy profession. At the conference in May 2025, a wide range of content was presented.
Several themes of regulatory importance emerged, including
· Mental health and physiotherapy
· Artificial intelligence and big data
· Advance practice/first contact physiotherapy
· Spinal manipulation in infants, children, and youth
In this episode Jody and Leanne discuss these themes, what we heard, and the connection between what was heard and the regulatory and practice context of Alberta.
