You may have not known this, but Physiotherapy has existed for so many years now that people might have been practicing it for so long and that it was still not labeled as Physiotherapy.
Since in the beginning, us people are not lazy to start with. Prehistoric Humans, Cavemen, or whatever we may be calling them always travels, hunt on different places, and sleeps on rough ground which certainly will cause body pains if you do that all the time. Ancient civilization like Egyptians and Romans always work hard to expand their glory, fight other nation, and spread their culture just to be known. We on the other hand, the modern age, also do lots of things such as waking up early morning and go to our jobs just to earn money, have nightlife’s, and perform variety of activities.
So what we and others have in common? There are certain times in our life that we lie down, reach our back and other parts of our body, and say “ouch, this pain is killing me”. This holds true whatever our gender or age and what do we do after that? We massage ourselves in a particular way to ease the pain and this simple “massage” does work for a certain percentage.
This simple and yet effective massage intrigued past civilization that they’d practice it to a certain degree to use it more accurately and effectively in different kinds situations to improve our movements and heal body pains. Different civilizations have also been using special ointments and balms that have been created to be used for this specific purpose to make the massage more effective and lasting. We can even doubt that the evolution of Physiotherapy almost started together when people discovered herbal medicine.
Physiotherapy Today, on Regular Daily Basis
Though we already know the demand of PT on patients that undergone operation and needs rehabilitation, Physiotherapy is also used everyday by people who wants to relax and take away the stress out from their body. Some people even get addicted to Physiotherapy or simple Therapeutic massage that they take this service three to four times a week. Several people used Therapeutic massage to cure or even prevent upcoming flu or fever when they feel its coming because of too much work and activities everyday.
On the other hand, Blind Physiotherapists or blind masseurs on some countries also excel on certain areas that people who have tried their service can attest the difference and working results for the reasons that Blind Physiotherapists understands more on how to massage the body accurately by feeling it through their hands, by experience, and by the teachings they received from their mentors as they usually didn’t take academic courses for this. Blind Physiotherapist also prefers the use of ointments and the likes as the therapy will be more effective.
High Demands on Professional Physiotherapy
Nowadays on modern and more civilized country offer courses to learn this practice and it is know as Physiotherapy, Physical Therapy, Physio, or PT. As it is already obvious, Physiotherapy or Physical Therapy covers a broad of service and different specialties under PT is recommended to cater specific problems.
Neurological physical therapy is one of the important specialties under Physiotherapy which helps patients recover from brain damage, Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, and other problems related to our brains. Orthopedic physical therapists on the other hand helps patients that undergone orthopedic surgery. This physiotherapy is mostly hired after the surgery to help the patient recover mobilization faster.
Sport physiotherapy also shares an important role on the life of athletes during injury rehabilitations and even during extensive training. It’s up to the sport physical therapist how fast athletes came back from a rehab. Dancers also demand a more flexible and durable body and need dance physical therapy as hours of training and intensity of dancing increase and so does the risk of injury. Physiotherapist helps dancers understand their body more so they can perform better and even achieve their goals much faster.

All of these from the beginning of time have proven that Physical Therapy or Physiotherapy has been really one of our aids to solve pain problems that we feel in our body.
