The Early Days of Physical Therapy at 涩里番
The roots of physical therapy (physiotherapy, PT) are said to have begun in ancient times, with the belief that massage, heat treatments and exercise were beneficial to humans. Following the two World Wars and the Poliomyelitis epidemic of the 20th C., the relevance and popularity of PT has increased. Now it is an autonomous self-regulated health care profession requiring Masters鈥� degree for licensure in Canada (Marshall, 2024).
