SKN Physiotherapy

GOALS

  1. Developing students' interests in the field of physiotherapy.
  2. Learning to write scientific papers and create research projects with publication of results.
  3. Supporting professional development in the area of diagnostics and physiotherapy.

Main issues:

  • Workshops/seminars – practical classes on modern physiotherapy methods, diagnostic techniques, as well as the ability to write scientific papers.
  • Research projects – implementation of joint scientific research.
  • Publications of research results – assistance in editing and publishing articles
    in scientific journals and scientific conferences.
  • Guest lectures – inviting specialists from the physiotherapy industry who will share their knowledge and experience.

Proposed actions:

  • Organization of thematic workshops – e.g. regarding the latest physiotherapy techniques, clinical research methods, or interpersonal skills
    when working with a patient.
  • Creating research groups – students can form small teams to work on specific research projects that can be presented at conferences or published.
  • Mentoring program – collaboration with experienced physiotherapists who will mentor students in career development and research.
  • Cooperation program with other scientific circles – establishing partnerships with other circles in Poland and abroad, organizing joint events such as conferences and workshops.
  • Creating a knowledge base – where educational materials, scientific paper templates, and writing and publishing guides will be available.
  • Internship program – establishing cooperation with clinics and rehabilitation centers in order to create opportunities for internships and apprenticeships for members of the scientific club.
  • Creating social initiatives – organizing open days, workshops for patients and charity events that will allow for active involvement in the community.

Success of SKN Fizjoterapia members during the National Conference "Let's Talk About Physiotherapy in Neurology""

We are pleased to announce that members of the GAMNS Physiotherapy Student Scientific Club – Natalia Hinz (4th year) and Tomasz Staniak (5th year) – they won 1st place in the poster session during the National Conference „"Let's Talk About Physiotherapy in Neurology"”, which took place April 11, 2026 at the Medical Academy of Applied and Holistic Sciences in Warsaw.

The awarded work entitled. „"Autonomic dysfunction and vagal regulation in a post-stroke patient with non-neoplastic esophageal stenosis and type 1 diabetes – a case report"” is a valuable contribution to the development of knowledge in the field of neurological physiotherapy and highlights the importance of an interdisciplinary approach to the treatment of patients with comorbidities.

The scientific supervision of the project was provided by Łukasz Mański, M.A., supporting students in carrying out work of a high substantive and applied level.

Specialized workshops for university administration staff

On December 11, 2025, the Student Scientific Club of Physiotherapy at the University of Health in Gdańsk conducted specialized workshops for university administration employees, devoted to the ergonomics of office work, healthy posture and the prevention of musculoskeletal disorders resulting from prolonged sitting.

During the meeting, we discussed key principles of safe workplace organization, as well as practical ways to prevent spinal strain. Participants learned about:

  • role breath in the regulation of muscle tone and posture stabilization,
  • protection principles sight while working at the screen,
  • simple, short movement exercises and repositioning techniques that help reduce the risk of back, neck and shoulder pain.

The event was another step in promoting health and ergonomics in the academic environment.

Visit to Primary School No. 2 in Sierakowice

On December 3, 2025, the Physiotherapy Student Scientific Club of the University of Health in Gdańsk visited Primary School No. 2 in Sierakowice, where we conducted preventive physiotherapy examinations for approximately 60 first-grade students.

The goal of our visit was to provide an early assessment of posture and motor function, as well as to promote healthy habits that can protect children from later musculoskeletal strain. As part of the screening, we assessed:

  • spine alignment, body posture, 
  • primitive reflexes, respiratory indicators, 
  • elements of coordination, balance and others. 

Moreover, the students’ parents completed a short questionnaire about screen time, which will allow us to assess the impact of digital stress on the attitude and well-being of the youngest children.

The visit was an important element of our Chapter’s health-promoting activities, combining education, prevention, and social involvement.
