  • If you travel far back in time you will find forms of physiotherapy used centuries ago. Hippocrates advocated massage and Hector used hydrotherapy (water therapy) in 460 B.C
  • The earliest documented origins of actual physical therapy as a professional group date back to 1894 when nurses in England formed the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy.2  Other countries soon followed and started formal training programs, such the School of Physiotherapy at the University of Otago in New Zealand in 1913.7  In the United States, Physical Therapy began in 1914 in Portland, Oregon, with Reed College and Walter Reed Hospital graduating the first physical therapists, then called "reconstruction aides."  These were nurses with a background in physical education needed to help manage the devastating effects of the First World War

  • In the 1950's, Physical Therapists started to move beyond hospital based practice. The majority continued to practice in hospitals through the 1960's. Physical Therapists now practice in a wide variety of settings, including outpatient orthopedic clinics, public schools, college/universities, geriatric settings (skilled nursing facilities), rehabilitation centers, hospitals and medical centers
  • Specialization for Physical Therapy in the United States occurred in 1974, with the Orthopaedic Section of the APTA being formed for those Physical Therapists specializing in Orthopedics.  In the same year, the International Federation of Orthopaedic Manipulative Therapy (IFOMT) was formed, which has heralded change and progress in manual therapy world wide ever since.  During this period, the eastern United States were greatly influenced by the training of Norway's Freddy Kaltenborn
  • In the 1980's, the explosion of technology and computers led to more technical advances in rehabilitation
  • The 1990's brought much attention to manual therapy

  • The practice of physical therapy can be traced back to about 460 BC
  • when physicians Hippocrates and Hector used massage therapy and hydrotherapy (water therapy) to treat their patients. Massage therapy is a technique of physiotherapy, whereby basic hand movements are used to reduce stress, relieve pain and stimulate healing
  • However, it was during the World War I (1917-1918) that physiotherapy was performed widely as a rehabilitation therapy for people who were injured in the war. People employed for such rehabilitative work were known as reconstruction aides and they were trained nurses having background of physical education and massage therapy.

  • lterations in foot posture can result in painful symptoms and significant levels of disability. The levels of force transmitted through the feet demand strong and flexible joints, muscle strength and neuromuscular coordination for balance and control. The changes which occur in the feet can be postural and relate to the positions of the anatomical structures in weight bearing, or be dynamic in that the postural abnormality occurs fleetingly but regularly in walking or running. The rear of the foot, the hind foot, is commonly affected in that the heelbone can be angled outwards to a degree, stressing the inside joints of the ankle and throwing the weight of the foot inwards. The main, or longitudinal, arch of the foot can be reduced naturally from early on in life or can reduce with time as the ligaments stretch and the position of the bones maintaining the arch changes. The forefoot arch can also reduce, forcing more pressure from the first metatarsal head onto the second and third metatarsal heads, causing callouses and pain to develop under the ball of the foot, which along with thinning tissues in this area in pain can give significant problems. Physiotherapy assessment of the foot starts with looking at the foot in static standing to get an idea of the main posture tendencies of the foot, then look at the patient walking to assess the dynamic patterns of movement and joint stability. The physio will manually assess the individual joints for their anatomical and accessory movements and stress the joints to test that they can cope with that without pain. Physiotherapy management can involve mobilisation techniques to restore joint movements, strengthening exercises for the general muscles and arch stabilisers, alterations in gait pattern and choice of footwear and prescription of insoles. Ready made insoles can be heat moulded to the desired shape of the patient's foot and small corrections applied to realign the joint complexes correctly for the desired mechanical alignment of the joints. Insoles are easy for the physio to apply and can be adjusted until the patient feels they are getting a good result.
