About MOBILIZE

The MOBILIZE project is anchored at the Research Unit for Musculoskeletal Function and Physiotherapy at the University of Southern Denmark and the PROgrez research and implementation unit at Næstved-Slagelse-Ringsted Hospitals. Both research units are characterized by their commitment to multidisciplinary, forward-thinking, and clinically relevant research—with exercise therapy and physical activity at the core of their scientific focus.
