WHAT IS PHYSIOTHERAPY

Physiotherapy is the treatment of body ailments (pains, deformities, disabilities, etc.) without the use of drug or medication. It is the application of physical techniques by the physician to cure the condition(s). This is why we refer to physiotherapy as Physical Therapy.

WHAT IS THE ORIGIN OF THE WORD “PHYSIOTHERAPY”?

This question above can be reframed as : “What is the origin of physiotherapy?” or “where does physiotherapy come from”?

By definition, the word ‘physio’ is from the Greek word: ‘phusis’ which means ‘nature’. Whereas, ‘Therapy’ hails from another Greek word: ‘therapeia’ – the meaning of this is ‘healing’. Combining these words in the context results in Natural Healing (Therapy). This term means physiotherapy.

As physiotherapists we study the science of movement. This makes us so important in your day to day activities. Why? Because movement is so paramount in everyone’s life.
