The initiative by an Internationally Renowned Dr Samana Sayed from Dubai| Mumbai in collaboration with Dr Aadesh Kumar from India, placed physiotherapy clinical expertise alongside digital creativity, highlighting how professional learning and healthcare communication can evolve beyond traditional lecture formats. With clinicians, researchers, academicians, college principals and content creators in attendance, the fest marked a notable moment for India’s physiotherapy community.
Organised by YOU360 Healthcare & Academy under the leadership of Dr. Samana Sayed, President and Founder of Physio Creators Fest, in collaboration with Dr. Adesh Kumar, Organising Secretary of PhysioCity, the event aimed to connect social media’s reach with the realities of clinical practice. The platform brought together established professionals and emerging voices to exchange perspectives on patient care, professional identity, education and innovation. Its central message was that physiotherapists can build visibility online while maintaining clinical credibility offline. By creating space for varied professional experiences, the organisers sought to encourage collaboration and strengthen the community across generations and specialisations.
The event was honoured by distinguished Guests of Honour, including Mr. Victor Peter lobo renowned entrepreneur; Mr. & Mrs. Prakash More, corporators and political leaders of Navi Mumbai; Dr. Ali IRani, celebrity cricket and Bollywood physiotherapist; Mr. Aijaz Hussain, entrepreneur and political-social worker; Dr. Sudeep Kale, Principal, Bharati Vidyapeeth College; and Dr. Deepak Kumar Capri, Head, Capri Institute, Delhi.
The business panel gave a roadmap to financial securities and multiple parallel options globally to the Physios and aspiring students.
Expert panel discussions covered pelvic health covering Transgender, male and Female pelvic health for the first time in India along with International panel of sports physiotherapy, cardiorespiratory physiotherapy and neurorehabilitation, with conversations focused on practical insights, contemporary research and evolving approaches to care. A dedicated Content Creators Panel explored the responsibilities and opportunities that come with digital healthcare communication, including public education, professional outreach and the careful sharing of clinical information. The discussions underscored the value of combining evidence-based knowledge with accessible communication for audiences.
Physio Creators Fest also expanded beyond clinical sessions to reflect the many dimensions of physiotherapists’ professional and personal lives. A Study Abroad segment examined international education pathways and career opportunities, while a ramp walk, talent hunt and Power Couple segment brought entertainment and participation to the programme. These activities highlighted creativity, confidence and individual talent within the physiotherapy fraternity. The event’s academic programme began a day earlier with a poster presentation session, offering researchers a forum to present work, exchange ideas and engage in scientific discussion. This research component kept evidence-based practice and professional development central to the fest’s wider vision.
The no-PPT format was a defining feature, encouraging speakers and attendees to focus on dialogue rather than prepared slides. The approach offered a different way to communicate professional knowledge, making room for spontaneous questions, peer exchange and audience participation. The fest also reflected the influence of social media in healthcare awareness, where physiotherapy creators can help explain health information and connect with the public. Bringing digital creators together with experienced clinicians created an opportunity to discuss how online reach can complement real-world expertise, while responsible communication remains essential. The gathering presented physiotherapists as practitioners as well as educators, researchers, communicators, entrepreneurs and future leaders.
With over 500 participants, speakers, specialised panel discussions, research presentations and creative segments, Physio Creators Fest 2026 set out to reshape the experience of a physiotherapy conference in India. The initiative by YOU360 Healthcare & Academy, in collaboration with PhysioCity, promoted a more connected and collaborative professional culture, where clinical knowledge and digital innovation can meet. By bringing the “reel” and “real” worlds into one venue, the event highlighted new possibilities for physiotherapy education, networking and public engagement. Its message was clear: a professional conference can foster meaningful learning and human connection without PowerPoint, while celebrating the people and ideas influencing the future of physiotherapy.
The event was conceptualised, planned, and creatively designed by Ms. Sahrish Sayed, in collaboration with Dubai-based Saurabh & Co. The on-ground execution was managed by Docmize Solutions India, under the banner of YOU360 and Physiocity.
