It is with great pleasure that I welcome you to the 5th Saudi International Physiotherapy Conference, proudly hosted by the Saudi Physical Therapy Association (SPTA).

This year’s theme, “Transforming Physiotherapy Practice in Saudi Arabia: Ensuring Sustainability within the New Model of Care,” reflects our shared commitment to advancing physiotherapy in alignment with the Kingdom’s evolving healthcare landscape. As Saudi Vision 2030 continues to reshape our health system, physiotherapy plays an increasingly pivotal role in delivering sustainable, patient-centered, and evidence-based care.

This conference brings together leading experts, researchers, clinicians, and decision-makers from Saudi Arabia and around the world. Over the coming days, we will explore groundbreaking advancements in rehabilitation science, discuss the integration of physiotherapy into multidisciplinary care models, and envision the future of our profession in a value-driven healthcare system.

Our scientific program features keynote addresses, hands-on workshops, research sessions, and collaborative panels—each designed to inspire innovation, elevate clinical practice, and promote long-term sustainability in physiotherapy services.

Beyond the academic content, this conference is also a space for connection, collaboration, and shared purpose. Whether you are here to learn, present, network, or contribute, your presence is essential and deeply appreciated.

On behalf of the SPTA, I extend my heartfelt thanks to our esteemed speakers, contributors, sponsors, and organizing committees for their dedication and support.

Welcome to a landmark event for physiotherapy in Saudi Arabia—defined by innovation, collaboration, and a shared commitment to excellence.

Warm regards,

Dr. Abdulfattah Saeed Alqahtani
