2. Physiotherapy is defined by the World
Health Organization as the art and science
of treatment by means of therapeutic
exercise, heat, cold, light,water, massage

NAME: PHISIOTHERAPY

3. The word Physiotherapy comes from the union of the Greek voices physis meaning Nature and therapehia
meaning Treatment. This means that etymologically Physiotherapy is "Treatment by Nature", although
nowadays it is more recognized as "Treatment by Physical Agents".
In the history of mankind there are numerous antecedents of the use of physical agents for therapeutic
purposes. In fact, from primitive man we find references to treatments based on physical agents to
combat the disease and that due to the conception of it (illness) were associated at first with magical and
religious rituals.
The therapeutic philosophy of Hippocrates was to promote the forces of self-healing of the body and
incorporates the Movement as a Therapeutic Agent (neuromuscular therapy bandage), in addition to
developing gymnastic methods to strengthen the upper and lower extremities and prepare them for
hunting, sport and war. These last methods were later perfected by Herodio in his treatise "Ars
Gimnástica"
Aristotle realizes experiences in the field of Electrotherapy by means of electrical discharges of the
torpedo fish (tremielga), using it for the attacks of drop
In the Middle Ages in Europe the consolidation of Christianity sets its sights on the cultivation of the spirit
and beyond, leaving aside the culture of health.
In the Renaissance the interest in the classics is renewed in Europe and the great works of the past are
re-read and studied, not being the Physiotherapy outside this current.
