About physiotherapy

History of Physiotherapy: 

Physiotherapy is dedicated to the restoration of the human function which has been impaired due to disease, trauma or injury. It is practiced in India since the last fifty years. It plays a big role in preventive aspects and pain management.
Physiotherapy dates back to 250 AD, when gold fish-electric fish was used for pain relief in gout and headache cases. Physiotherapists today use certain type of currents to give pain relief.
In prehistoric era, buddhists and hindus recognised "pain as a sensation" but gave greater importance to its emotional aspects. Non-invasive methods were used for pain relief. Today's physiotherapists also use non-invasive, electro-therapy modalities for pain relief.
Physiotherapy is "tending to the cure or providing relief from disease or injury." It involves rehabilitating the patient from "bed to job".
Be it acute or intensive care, respiratory and cardiac rehabilitation, pain management, Arthritis, headache, post-operative pain, heel pain, fitness, or sports injury, physiotherapy has a role to play in restoring the patient to normalcy or atleast a functional capacity.
