Physical therapy has existed for centuries, dated since 460 BC, when Hippocrates was said to have been the first to practice manual treatment methods. It has also been identified across many other different countries, as different names and titles, and always seen as healers. Understanding these roots of this health profession creates an honor more than an obligation to provide such a service to people today. As Doctors of Physical Therapy (DPT), we as health care providers have the ability to perform detailed and accurate assessments, execute only evidence based manual techniques, and deliver the highest of quality care in improving functional movement as well as functional strength.
