Show Notes

What does physical therapy look like beyond the U.S. healthcare system?


In this episode, Jimmy talks with Sidy Dieye, CEO of World Physiotherapy, about how the global PT profession is evolving — and why U.S. clinicians should care.


World Physiotherapy represents 129 member organizations and over 600,000 physiotherapists worldwide.


Sidy shares:

  • Why global collaboration is the profession’s greatest strength
  • The workforce crisis in countries with only one trained physio per 10 million people
  • How AI should be regulated and used as a tool — not feared as a replacement
  • What “direct access” means in different healthcare systems
  • Why the 2027 Congress in Guadalajara is more than a conference
  • The 75th anniversary celebration honoring 75 transformative physios


This episode reinforces a powerful idea:

World Physiotherapy doesn’t belong to leadership — it belongs to the profession.
