Two days full of exchange, inspiration and trend-setting impulses
What remains after two days full of encounters, discussions and insights? Not only exciting conversations, but also clear insights into where physiotherapy currently stands in Switzerland - and where it is heading.
As Swiss Physio Partner (SPP) we were there to network with practice owners, therapists, training managers and industry representatives. The result: many open discussions, inspiring food for thought and a strong sense of new beginnings.
Day 1: Swiss physiotherapy is at a turning point
It was already clear on the first day of the congress that the industry is undergoing change - and this change has long been noticeable in the everyday life of practices. The desire for more co-operation between practices, institutions and professionals is growing. Reliable partners are needed to create structures so that therapists can once again focus on the essentials - their patients. And there is a great willingness to break new ground in order to strengthen physiotherapy in the long term - together and on an equal footing.
Day 2: Future topics between digitalisation and skills shortage
The second day of the congress brought numerous impulses from research and practice - from digitally supported therapy paths and recruiting strategies to new forms of collaboration between science and practice.
What particularly moved us:
- Recruiting therapists remains one of the greatest challenges of our time.
- Administrative tasks continue to increase, which is why good structures and relief in everyday practice are becoming increasingly important.
- Innovation and openness are not trends, but the basis for making physiotherapy fit for the future.
- Evidence-based, digitally supported forms of therapy open up new opportunities in prevention and rehabilitation.
- And once again it became clear that networking in one's own industry is indispensable, especially as an owner.
In our video, Damian Doberstein, Julian Weber and Jean-Philipp Kern report on what they personally took away from the congress - and how SPP is actively shaping the future of movement therapy.
Our highlight: The Audience Award Practical Project 2025
A special moment was the presentation of the Audience Award Practical Project, which Swiss Physio Partner sponsored this year.
We would like to congratulate Natalie Cedraschi on her win. Her project «Rehabilitation from the ground up: Back to bed, forwards to independence» of the Physiotherapy Rehab Rheinfelden department shows impressively how interprofessional collaboration strengthens patients in the early rehabilitation phase and makes it easier for them to return to an independent life.
For us, one thing is certain: the future of physiotherapy is where new ideas come directly from practice - from people who share their knowledge and develop care together.
Our conclusion: shaping the future together
The Physioswiss Congress 2025 showed that physiotherapy in Switzerland is ready for the next step - towards more collaboration, innovation and relief in everyday practice.
With Swiss Physio Partner we are convinced that when practice owners, therapists and partners pull together, a network is created that is sustainable in the long term and creates real quality of life - for everyone involved.
How can we shape the future of physiotherapy together?
We are happy to take the time to talk about your practice, challenges and goals.
