orld Physical Therapy day is celebrated in September - and we’d like to take the chance to give you some Coverflex insights on its importance, as it plays such a fundamental role in the recovery from several types of surgery and in the management of multiple health illnesses and disorders, and on how we can help you improve and preserve your physical health.
In September, we celebrate World Physical Therapy Day. What does this mean? That we take this chance to, on the one hand, give you some tips on the importance of physical health and, on the other hand, point out the fundamental role of this kind of therapy in the recovery of surgeries, illnesses and clinical conditions. Coverflex wants to be present in all dimensions of your life and, of course, help you to improve and maintain your physical health.

But, first, some historical context.
Physiotherapy is a 2481-year-old solution for a contemporary problem: its treatments go back to 460 B.C., when water treatment and massage therapy were first used and investigated by Hippocrates and Hector on their patients who suffered from pain and aches. Such treatments have evolved and now have a critical role in the improvement of people’s lives in what comes to different kinds of conditions: sports injuries, muscular dystrophy, osteoporosis, respiratory issues, Parkinson’s Disease and knee ligament injury are just some of them.
At Coverflex we offer not only benefits, meal allowance and insurances, but also dozens of discounts with our partners. To mark World Physical Therapy day, we want to tell you about three of our partners, who focus on three essential aspects of a healthy living: regular medical checkups, fitness, and a balanced diet.
