De Belgian Federation of Sports Physiotherapy is de internationale vertegenwoordiger voor de Belgische sportkinesitherapie, officieel erkend binnen WCPT - IFSPT. We zijn dan ook verheugd jullie te melden dat sinds 2019 AXXON een officiële samenwerking ons is aangegaan en BFSP erkent als beroepsgroep voor de Belgische sportkinesitherapeuten. Deze samenwerking vindt plaats binnen de ABCIG Sportkinesitherapie. Op deze manier kunnen we op nationaal niveau de aanwezige expertise bundelen en deze ook tot bij jullie, de sportkinesitherapeuten op het veld brengen.
Sportkinesitherapie is een internationaal erkende specialisatie binnen de kinesitherapie die door zijn academische opleiding over bijzondere competenties beschikt. De sportkinesitherapeut(e) staat voor:
- De promotie van een gezonde levensstijl en is werkzaam binnen de gezondheidspromotie en preventie op basis van sport- en lichaamsbeweging.
- Een klinische expert aangaande diagnostiek en revalidatie bij sportblessures, preventie van blessures, orthopedische en sportspecifieke revalidatie en prestatiegerichte training.
- Daarbovenop zet de sportkinesitherapeut(e) zich in voor een eerlijke en faire sportbeoefening, waarbij een fair play en de strijd tegen alle vormen van doping deel uitmaken van het werkveld.
We nodigen elke kinesitherapeut uit die onze passie deelt voor de sportkinesitherapie om lid te worden van BFSP om zo onze toekomst samen vorm te geven.

SportsComp Project - "New SPA Project"
From ISEPA website - Consortium The project consortium consists of five organisations: Jamk University of Applied Sciences (Jamk, Finland), University of Tartu (UT, Estonia), Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB, Belgium), University of Thessaly (UTH, Greece), and the International Sports and Exercise Physiotherapy Association (ISEPA), Switzerland. In September 2023, the new consortium announced that the Erasmus+ Cooperation Partnership Project, Higher education to improve competency in Sports Physiotherapy (SportsComp), was granted funding for an international project lasting three years. As stated by the assessors, “…the involvement of and the role of the IFSPT (CH) is pivotal in bringing the results of the project to a broad range of international institutions to use, and could impact sports physiotherapy education and the profession globally.” It continued “…The project has very good potential to positively impact its participants and participating organisations, as well as their wider communities…”. In addition, thanks to the credibility of the other partners, they also stated that“…The profile, experience and the activities of the participating organisations are relevant for the field, the application is clear and very well presented. Participants have significant experience in the field(s) as well as strong evidence-based competencies and skills. The applicants are strong groups with the clear ability to translate research-based approaches to practical level solutions…” The SportsComp project, coordinated by Jamk, began on 1 September 2023, and is divided into five Work Packages (WPs), which focus on the long-term competence development of the academia, students, and professionals by updating sports physiotherapy competencies. The project enhances international collaboration in sports physiotherapy, and lifelong learning, and supports the digital competencies of the project target groups.
