The need

Specialist physiotherapy is scarce in Albania, and a private session can cost around 3,000 lek — out of reach for the families who need it most. Many people living with disability have never had professional care.

Our clinics run five days a week across Tirana and Durrës, supporting people with a wide range of physical, cognitive and sensory disabilities — often for the first time in their lives.

We don't just deliver therapy; we grow it. Each year 8 Albanian physiotherapy interns are trained by our team, building lasting local expertise so that specialist care can keep reaching those who need it.

Voices from the bridge

“I can walk without stopping. I slept through the night last week for the first time in years. I helped my grandson carry something on Sunday — he did not know this was remarkable. I just carried it.”

— Arben, 55, receiving physiotherapy in Tirana

“In eight months here I have learned more than in three years of study. Xhina remembers each patient's name and family — the therapy begins before the therapy begins.”

— Anxhela, volunteer physiotherapist, trained at Tek Ura
