Physiotherapy is a health care profession which deals with human function and movement to maximize physical potential. It is about identifying and maximising quality of life. It deals with movement potential, prevention, treatment/intervention, habilitation and rehabilitation.

Physical Therapy dates back to the year 1813 that was when the father of physiotherapy Per Henrik Ling founded the royal Central Institute of Gymnastics. This organization carried out massage, manipulation and exercise.

Father of physiotherapy, Per Henrik Ling, had one of the earliest documented beginnings of actual physiotherapy. He is the ‘father of swedish Gymnastics’. taking into account variations in health status. He used physical approaches to promote, maintain and restore physical, psychological and social well-being.  Definitions of physiotherapy from around the world indicate that there is a consensus that ‘movement’ is the core expertise/business of physiotherapy

Physiotherapists and Physical Therapists (PTs) work within a wide variety of health settings. They do this to improve a broad range of physical problems associated with different ‘systems’ of the body. In particular, they treat neuromuscular (brain and nervous) system. They also attend to the musculoskeletal (soft tissues, joints and bones), cardiovascular and respiratory systems (heart and lungs.

Physiotherapists work autonomously, often as a member of a team with other health or social care professionals. Physiotherapy practice has characteristics of by reflective behaviour and systematic clinical reasoning. Both contributes to a problem-solving approach to patient-centric care. Doctors and other health and social care professionals usually refer people to physiotherapists. Increasingly, as a result of changes in health care, people are referring themselves directly to physiotherapists (first-line access) without previously seeing any other health care professional.
