Specials
As Healthpunk continues to evolve it is spreading around the world and
finding implementation in ever new contexts. Here, you can find a growing number of
these specials as they orbit and expand the Healthpunk galaxy.
Das Berliner Mani(chtso)fest
A Healthpunk Special Edition
Das Berliner Mani(chtso)fest: A Healthpunk Special Edition emerged from a whole year of collaboration among members of the German-speaking section of the Critical Physiotherapy Network. Throughout this year, members first write their own Healthpunk stories, then met for a two-day workshop to analyse and discuss the stories, and so finally write a manifesto for the future of physiotherapy on the back of the analysis and discussion of their healthpunk stories.

Punk it up!
A Physiopunk Minizine
In 2023, teachers at Charles Sturt University in Australia adapted Healthpunk for the purpose of an online
module and assessment designed to challenge 3rd-year physiotherapy students to consider questions of
climate change and sustainability in relation to their profession. Read the inspirational case report here and
