Welcome from the SASP President

Dear Colleagues

It is with great pleasure to welcome you to the South African Society of Physiotherapy Congress from the 16th to the 18th of September 2022. 

This year, the congress will be held in the fairest of Capes, the heart of the winelands, Stellenbosch. On behalf of the SASP National Executive Committee, the Scientific Committee, and the Local Organising Committee, we invite you to immerse yourself in our congress themed, “Physiotherapy in the 21st Century, a Metamorphosis”.

We are excited to have two international speakers, Ms Sarah Wright, and Ms Esther Munalula Nkandu imparting their knowledge. This year, we continue to offer a diverse array of topics within the field of Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation. Presentations on offer will give insight into leadership and clinical perspectives appealing to a wider audience.

Join us and reconnect with old acquaintances, make new acquaintances, extend your networks and walk away enriched with greater knowledge and an experience you will be remembering for many years to come. Looking forward to meeting you.

SASP President

Welcome from the Congress Host Province – A Word from the Western Cape Chairperson

A warm and hearty welcome to the Western Cape and, in particular, to the historic town of Stellenbosch! We are delighted to be able to physically host and safely interact with congress delegates, speakers, organisers, volunteers, and exhibitors, after the impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic, at a venue which truly showcases the hospitality and scenery that Stellenbosch has to offer. We hope that amongst an exciting and stimulating congress programme, you are able to familiarise yourself with and enjoy the interesting history, lush landscapes, “coffee-shop culture” and entertaining activities in Stellenbosch and surrounds. If time is your friend, venturing along either of our pristine coastlines will only elevate your stay in our beautiful province.
