This type of rehabilitation came about as a result of formal training programs, such as the School of Physiotherapy at the University of Otago, New Zealand 1913, and physical therapy programs at Reed College and Walter Reed Military Hospital in the United States 1914, pioneering institutions of physiotherapy inspired by four nurses who formed the ‘Chartered Society of Physiotherapy’ in Great Britain in 1884.
