\u201cIt is encouraging that former students joined me at the congress \u2013 students who only yesterday were sitting in lecture halls and practical classrooms, studying rehabilitation and aspiring to become successful physical therapists.

They are lecturers, supervisors, and practising physical therapists, as well as future physical therapists,\u201d Professor Daria Popovych<\/strong> noted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
