AKPMIP

AKPMIP, the Midi-Pyrénées Association for Pediatric Physiotherapy, promotes pediatric physiotherapy across its region and works to improve care for children. It supports communication among professionals and encourages better coordination between independent and salaried physiotherapists, as well as medical and paramedical care providers. The association also helps children and their families access appropriate, nearby support to improve care and follow-up.

AKPMIP provides a directory of regional physiotherapists and massage therapists with experience in pediatric physiotherapy, helping families find relevant professionals. It shares information about the discipline with healthcare professionals and families, contributing to greater awareness of pediatric physiotherapy. Its activities include events such as AKPMIP days, congresses, and training sessions, alongside publications and announcements. The association’s website also features news and information about membership, its governance, and its network of partners. Based in Toulouse at the Children’s Hospital’s functional rehabilitation department, AKPMIP serves as a regional resource connecting families and professionals around pediatric physiotherapy.
