Since the launch of the Environmental Physiotherapy Association (EPA) in mid-2019, the EPA has been growing steadily and currently unites over 1500 international members. With people in all corners and time zones of the world, speaking all sorts of different languages, and working on all sorts of different aspects of environmental physiotherapy, it can sometimes be difficult to gather all of us together to talk, share our ideas and experiences, and make plans for the way forward. This November, we want to make space for these kinds of meetings to happen to strengthen growing EPA members activity in different regions of the world.
The Uprising – An EPA regional roundtables event on 20 and 21 November 2025, invites all members and people interested in environmental physiotherapy to gather in their respective timezones and languages, to build community, and reflect on the lead question of the event:
What are the next steps for environmental physiotherapy in my region?
The exploration of this question, as well as questions about the specificities and challenges of each region, the EPT-related needs, interests, and wishes of clinicians, students, educators, and researchers, and ideas for future activities, will also be gathered to support the ongoing development of EPA regions pages.
Check out the event page and program here to find your roundtable or moderate on yourself!
We can’t wait to see you there 🙂
