Internationally recognized after many efforts made by the guild, Physiotherapy is increasingly in demand in developed and developing countries, with different applications and purposes according to the needs of each area, but with unquestionable importance.
═════════════════════════════════════════════
The word Physiotherapy comes from the union of the Greek voices "physis" meaning Nature and "therapehia" meaning Treatment. This means that etymologically physiotherapy is "Treatment by Nature". Today, however, it is more widely recognised as "Physical Agent Treatment".
The change in the etymological meaning of this word was consolidated from 1958, when the World Health Organization defined Physiotherapy as "the art and science of treatment through therapeutic exercise, heat, cold, light, water, massage and electricity".
This definition is fundamental in the history of physiotherapy because it refers to therapeutic exercise and therefore incorporates two fundamental elements that the physiotherapist has: exercise and human body movement.

It represents then, without a doubt, a viable alternative to treatments that use drugs to treat pain, pre- and post-operative symptoms, musculoskeletal deficiencies, and other injuries...
═════════════════════════════════════════════
Physiotherapy is not just massage, it is one of the main methods we use as physiotherapists to treat our patients, as well as therapeutic exercises.
═════════════════════════════════════════════
A physical therapist is directly involved with the patient and their treatment or recovery process. It is there where we see the true fruits of our profession, and where day after day we are motivated to continue our work. That personal well-being is a'non-cash' payment that each patient gives us.
