Fun Facts about Physical!

1. Roots of the physical therapy profession began thousands of years ago.

Does it surprise you to learn that physical therapy isn’t new? The Greek philosopher, Hippocrates, began using techniques that birthed physical therapy in the year 435 B.C.

2. Women were the pioneers of physical therapy in the United States.
Physical therapy was officially recognized as a profession during World War I when female civilian employees of the U.S. Army were tasked with rehabilitating injured soldiers using primarily massage techniques. They were called reconstruction aides or re-aides and were assistants to physicians rather than today’s autonomous profession.

3. Physical therapists were called “sjukgymnasts” in Sweden until 2014.
Sjukgymnasts means “someone involved in gymnastics for those who are ill.” In 1813, Per Henrik Ling, the “father of Swedish gymnastics,” founded the Royal Central Institute of Gymnastics. There, he instituted a system of exercises, manipulation, and massage for gymnasts, which is where the title “sjukgymnast” originated.

4. You can get physical therapy in many settings, even a swimming pool!
Physical therapy was only provided in hospitals until the 1950s, but now you can

5. October is National Physical Therapy Month.
