The international Organisation of Physiotherapists in Paediatrics (IOPTP) is an official speciality group of World Physiotherapy. The purpose of the IOPTP is to provide a means by which World Physiotherapy member organisations, with a common interest in children and their families, may meet, confer, and promote these interests.
