在原始社会,人们狩猎追逐野兽,常常被荆棘绊倒,造成软组织损伤,于是便本能地用手去抚摸、按揉、解除病痛。古希腊的渔夫在捕鱼的过程中,有时被脊背上长有放电器的鱼击伤,后来发现原来患有关节痛的人获得了好转或痊愈。人类与自然界的长期斗争中不断总结着。>>英国留学 谨慎选专业
        物理治疗学国外的发展最初于公元4世纪前,古希腊医生Hippocarates就倡导应用矿泉、日光、海水等治病。至17世纪发现静电开始有了人工电疗法。到了20世界30年代开始使用超声波治病。
        据悉,近年来,理疗师(PhysiotherApists)是非常兴盛的,如今,中国学生想去英国学习这个专业的人数也越来越多,但由于这个专业的特殊性,很多应届毕业生都不能直接申请或根本就不能申请。
        理疗师是指为病人提供康复理疗指导或帮助的人,理疗即物理治疗。物理治疗 (Physiotherapy或Physical Therapy)是以一种预防、治疗、及处理因疾病或伤害所带来的动作问题的医疗专业。在英国开设这个课程的学校还是比较多的,下面刘晶老师就为大家来详细的介绍一下:

        最近有些学生和家长会问到职业治疗和物理治疗的相关问题,首先需要明确的一点是西方国家不太认可国内的医学教育,也就是直接想用国内的医科毕业及执业执照去申请英国临床类专业是有很高的难度的。还有另外的两种就是物理治疗师(PT:physiotherapist)和职业治疗师(OT:occupational therapist)。两者都隶属于allied health(健康相关专业)。两者的区别是职业治疗目的是侧重于恢复病人的认知,操作及生活的自理功能,而物理治疗是恢复病人的运动功能。
        随着国策的越来越开放,理疗师和职业治疗师在国内的就业前景也是非常广阔。两个专业的毕业生一般会在公立医院,私立医院,私人诊所,养老院,政府医疗部门,工会等处工作。
