Most of what makes up modern physical therapy was used back in ancient times. Various methods of physical therapy were used by the ancient Chinese, Persians, Egyptians, and Greeks. The field of physical therapy used in modern times was first established in Britain in the late 19th century. Not long after, American orthopedic surgeons began training young women graduates from physical education colleges to work in doctors' offices and hospitals. In 1916, when an intense epidemic of poliomyelitis hit New York and New England, those women treated thousands of infected patients. | |||
