History of Physical Therapy
Physical therapy has ancient roots, with practices dating back to ancient Greece, Rome, and Egypt. Techniques such as manual therapy and exercise were used to treat pain and improve function. Modern physical therapy began to take shape in the 19th century with the development of orthopedics and the establishment of physical education institutions. Today, physical therapy is a well-established healthcare profession focused on rehabilitative practices to strengthen muscles, improve posture, and enhance overall well-being.
History of Occupational Therapy
Occupational therapy has a rich history that began in the early 20th century. It originated from the mental health movement, emphasizing the therapeutic use of everyday activities to improve patients' mental and physical health. During World War I, occupational therapy played a crucial role in rehabilitating soldiers, helping them regain their independence through meaningful activities. Over the years, occupational therapy has evolved into a holistic practice that addresses both physical and mental health needs.
