Date: Tuesday, January 6, 2026



 

The Faculty of Physical Therapy at the German International University (GIU) continues to advance excellence in education through a series of specialized workshops and clinical exposure activities that reinforce the integration of academic knowledge with real-world practice. Crafted in line with advanced German curricula, the Physical Therapy program at GIU is designed to equip students with the knowledge, skills, and professionalism required to excel as future physical therapists, while also contributing to the advancement of the profession in Egypt and the wider region.

 

As part of its commitment to incorporating cutting edge technologies into education, the Faculty organized an educational workshop titled “Revolutionizing Pelvic Floor Anatomy with AI”. The workshop was presented by Dr. Hend Sakr, Associate Professor of Physical Therapy for Women’s Health, and introduced students to the use of Virtual Reality (VR) technology to explore the detailed anatomy of the female pelvic floor muscles. Through an immersive three-dimensional learning environment, students were able to visualize anatomical layers with greater clarity, enhancing both understanding and clinical relevance. The session witnessed a high level of interaction and engagement, fostering discussion and strengthening knowledge retention.

 

In support of hands-on, competency-based learning, the Faculty also conducted the workshop “Scoliosis in 3D: A Hands-On Physiotherapy Approach.” The workshop provided a valuable academic and professional experience by bridging theoretical concepts with clinical application. Through practical training, expert guidance, and collaborative learning, participants developed advanced skills in scoliosis assessment and management, gaining deeper clinical insight and confidence.

 

Further emphasizing evidence based and technology-driven practice, an advanced workshop on isokinetic testing and training using the Biodex System was organized. Participants received hands on training in assessing muscle strength, endurance, and performance under controlled conditions. The session highlighted the importance of isokinetic evaluation in rehabilitation, injury prevention, and sports performance, demonstrating how objective data can guide individualized treatment plans and enhance clinical decision-making and patient outcomes.

 

Complementing these academic initiatives, the Physiotherapy Department also organized a successful clinical exposure tour hosted by Hansa Medica Clinics. Students explored a range of advanced physiotherapy technologies through live demonstrations and supervised hands-on activities, including hydrotherapy, 3D motion analysis, posture and spinal assessment, antigravity treadmill training, balance systems, and pain management modalities. This experience provided meaningful real-world exposure and reflected GIU’s commitment to delivering high-quality clinical education aligned with international best practices.

 

At GIU, the Faculty of Physical Therapy offers a holistic curriculum that encompasses a comprehensive understanding of the human body, its disorders, and the latest therapeutic methodologies across physical therapy and allied health disciplines. Through hands-on training, cutting-edge technologies, and real clinical settings, students develop strong diagnostic and treatment skills while upholding the highest professional standards.

 

The Faculty extends its sincere appreciation to Hansa Medica Clinics for their warm hospitality and continuous support, and commends GIU students for their enthusiasm and active participation. Through such initiatives, GIU reaffirms its dedication to providing a top-tier education aligned with solid German international standards, producing skilled, knowledgeable, and future-ready physical therapy professionals.
