COMMUNITY HEALTH CLUB
(Screen • Educate • Prevent)
عن
Community Health Club is the Faculty of Physical Therapy’s outreach platform, taking movement health education beyond the campus. Through free posture and injury screening days, school and sports-club health talks, and prevention campaigns, the club serves the wider community, strengthens the faculty’s public presence, and gives students genuine experience in screening, health communication, and public education.
الرؤية
To position the Faculty of Physical Therapy as a visible, trusted health resource for its campus and its surrounding community — known for prevention and education, not only treatment.
الرسالة

- Ergonomics education for students, office workers, and school children.
- Injury prevention and warm-up programmes for amateur and school-level athletes.
- Public health messaging on back pain, physical activity, and sedentary behaviour.
- Safe, ethical, clearly bounded student roles in community settings under staff supervision.
