A year in summary
This is Physiopedia’s fifth annual report Covering the period of June 1, 2022 through May 31, 2023.
Reflecting on our journey from June 2022 to May 2023, it’s clear to see that we continue to push boundaries as we continue to evolve to meet our mission of improving global health by providing access to evidence-based rehabilitation knowledge. This year, we went above and beyond to foster collaboration within the rehabilitation community and meet the diverse needs of our global users.
At the heart of our success is our dedicated team of remote volunteers who are passionate and committed and share our vision. Their contributions are evident in the wealth of new and updated information we have been able to share with the global rehabilitation community. This year we were sad to say goodbye to some of our volunteers who are venturing out in new directions but we were happy to welcome 44 new volunteers to the team. Our volunteers, from 18 countries, joined us after completing the two volunteer orientation courses we held in April and November. The course attracts volunteers from all over the world, which helps us develop our understanding of global rehabilitation needs!
Physiopedia continues to stand as a leading rehabilitation resource, ranking among the top 30 medical websites globally. With over 5,112 pages of content, we attract approximately 4 million visitors every month from nearly every corner of the world. The number of people visiting Physiopedia grows every year! Collectively, they view on average 7 million pages each month.
Partnerships continue to be a cornerstone of our work. University students embraced earlycareer publication, developing their website editing skills to contribute high-quality, evidencebased content to our platform.
As we continued to embrace the freedom of travel, we enjoyed travelling to in-person meetings and conferences, helping us foster global connections and learn from others how we can work together for the growth of rehabilitation professions and health systems. This made it even more exciting to have abstracts accepted for the 2023 World Physiotherapy Congress.
Staying true to our commitment to continuous learning, we offered a free online course in September “Understanding the Rehabilitation Needs of Displaced Persons", we had 12,604 people register from 107 countries.
As we move into the next year, we remain driven to expand our horizons, to be a leading resource for rehabilitation professionals worldwide, and to continue to make a difference in global health.

Looking back, looking forward
This year has opened my eyes to the reach and the honest impact that Physiopedia is making all over the world. Early in 2023 Tony and I visited Peshawar in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province in Pakistan for the launch of ReLAB-HS, the USAID funded activity where Physiopedia is a key partner. As we exited one of the clinics we visited that day a small crowd of physiotherapists had gathered to come and say hello, to take selfies and to say thank you. They had heard Physiopedia was in town and they wanted to meet us.
This event raised many emotions that will stay with both of us for the rest of our lives. We were shocked that they knew us, we were happy they were happy, we were excited to meet them, to know how they used Physiopedia, we were humbled by their appreciation and we were proud. Proud of the team that selflessly contributes their time and their knowledge to all that is Physiopedia. Physiopedia wouldn’t be what it is without you, know that you are making a difference.
Rachael Lowe
We committed this year to embracing inter-professional inclusivity and we are grateful to those who are curious to take this journey with us. Attending the international conferences for the World Confederation and Occupational Therapy and the International Society for Prosthetics and Orthotics opened our eyes to how meaningful Physiopedia can be to all rehabilitation professions, we are excited to take this next step in the journey with our rehabilitation colleagues.
Co-Founder, Trustee & Chair
Rachael qualified as a physiotherapist in 1998 from Sheffield Hallam University. Before turning her attention to providing technology solutions for the physiotherapy profession she successfully founded a private musculoskeletal physiotherapy service in the United Kingdom.
At the heart of all of this, let me take this opportunity to thank those of you that use, value and trust Physiopedia. Physiopedia would not be what it is without you. With your help our contribution to the development of the rehabilitation workforce worldwide will continue to have an impact, in even the most remote places on earth.
Now, in a voluntary capacity, Rachael oversees the day to day activities at the Physiopedia charity. She is also cofounder and CEO of Physiopedia Plus, Physiopedia’s supporting online professional development platform.

Reflecting on the past year, we are proud to have accomplished more than we set out to do, as well as opening doors to new opportunities. This year was about growth, resilience, and teamwork.

We welcomed new team members, learned from new experiences, and adapted to new challenges. As a result, we are even more robust and dynamic. As our journey continues, we want to thank all of the volunteers that help us in our mission to provide free access to high-quality rehabilitation knowledge.

What we do
Making meaningful impact for the global rehabilitation community
In order to satisfy it’s mission, the strategic plan highlights 6 key strategies that guide our activities:
Gather the sum of all physical rehabilitation knowledge and make this freely available to all.
Lead in providing educational opportunities to rehabilitation professionals throughout the world.
Physiopedia proudly hosts over 5,000 pages of evidencebased, practical rehabilitation related content. Content is continually reviewed and updated by the dedicated team of volunteers. The content remains freely accessible worldwide, ensuring valuable information is available to all, regardless of location.
Through our partnerships with universities and member organisations, Physiopedia has created a platform that seamlessly integrates into innovative educational and professional development initiatives. Continually, it remains a highly utilized teaching resource, especially in settings with limited resources.
Reach and involve rehabilitation professionals throughout the world.
Improve health care and therefore make a positive contribution to global health.
As an open-access platform, Physiopedia welcomes everyone, evidenced by over 37 million visitors from around the globe this past year. We inclusively engage with all rehabilitation professions worldwide without restrictions.
Physiopedia fosters professional development among rehabilitation professionals, and facilitates the exchange of knowledge, thus making a significant contribution to global health improvement and the promotion of best practices in patient care.
Foster international collaboration to empower global rehabilitation professions.
Promote the profession to the wider health care community and the public globally.
Our partnerships with numerous international organisations have culminated in the formulation of targeted strategies to enhance workforce capacity. Together with universities, professional associations, and service providers, we are crafting sustainable resources dedicated to fortifying the rehabilitation workforce.
Thanks to a robust communications strategy, we've seen an increase in visitors beyond physiotherapists. This broadened reach underscores the importance of physical rehabilitation, extending its value to other healthcare professionals and the general public, enriching awareness and understanding across a wider audience.

Who we do it with
Making meaningful partnerships to positively impact global health
Physiopedia values, respects and encourages collaborative activities that contribute towards global health.
Integrating rehabilitation into health systems with John Hopkins University, University of Melbourne, Humanity and Inclusion, Momentum Wheels for Humanity and Miracle Feet.
As a key partner in the Learning, Acting and Building for Rehabilitation in Health Systems Consortium (ReLAB-HS) Physiopedia continues work to contribute towards integrating rehabilitation into health systems in Burma, Pakistan, and Uganda. This activity seeks to co-design and implement innovative, comprehensive, cost-effective interventions that strengthen health systems for provision of rehabilitation across all levels of care.
The five-year program is working in a number of low- and middle income countries affected by conflict, with varying levels of rehabilitation needs and infrastructure. ReLAB-HS presents a genuine opportunity to provide real improvements in the quality of life, functionality and independence for many people through simple interventions at all levels of care to highlight the benefit of rehabilitation further in all health care settings. Physiopedia’s role as part of the ReLAB-HS consortium is focused on developing workforce capacity.
The ReLAB-HS workforce development activities seek to cost and time efficiently train more rehabilitation professionals and elevate standards of rehabilitation practice around the world. In order to build upon the many examples of rehabilitation workforce development already taking place around the world our activities are centred on coordination with all relevant stakeholders to share knowledge, practices, and resources via a suite of digital platforms that will offer online teaching, learning, mentoring and networking. These platforms will be innovative, accessible and inclusive to allow adoption by all rehabilitation professionals.
Tools and resources to facilitate the practicalities of workforce development will be created. This will include the development of an internationally relevant rehabilitation education and training toolkit that can be adopted by stakeholders and adapted to their particular profession and/or geographical and economic context. Online accredited courses will be created in collaboration with international topic specialists and made available for any stakeholder to integrate into their own teaching activities. Resources and support will be made available to facilitate the uptake of the toolkit by clinics and educators through the effective use of hybrid learning as an economically efficient workforce development strategy.

Physiopedia Company No. 08530802 Directors' Report For The Year Ended 31 May 2023
The directors present their report and the financial statements for the year ended 31 May 2023.
Directors
The directors who held office during the year were as follows:
Ms Elaine Lonnemann Mr Antony Lowe Ms Brenda Myers Mrs Rachael Lowe
Statement of Directors' Responsibilities
The directors are responsible for preparing the Directors' Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations.
Company law requires the directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the directors have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law). Under company law the directors must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the company and of the surplus or deficit of the company for that period. In preparing the financial statements the directors are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the company will continue in business.
The directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the company's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
The directors are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the company's website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.
Small Company Rules
This report has been prepared in accordance with the special provisions relating to companies subject to the small companies regime within Part 15 of the Companies Act 2006.

Rendering of services
Turnover from the rendering of services is recognised by reference to the stage of completion of the contract. The stage of completion of a contract is measured by comparing the costs incurred for work performed to date to the total estimated contract costs. Turnover is only recognised to the extent of recoverable expenses when the outcome of a contract cannot be estimated reliably.
