History of Physiatry

Physical ways of healing people have been practiced since prehistoric times, but Physiatry did not become recognized as it's on medical specialty until 1947. Most widely known as the field of Rehabilitation and Physical Medicine.  Modern Day Physiatry combines the related practices of Physical Medicine, Rehabilitation Medicine and Electromyography.

The term Physiatry comes from the Greek words physikos (physical) and iatreia (art of healing). A Physiatrist is a physician who prescribes physical agents as well as other medical therapeutics to help in the rehabilitation and healing of a patient. Treatment involves the person, and explaining the physical, emotional and social needs that must be satisfied to restore the patient's quality of life to its highest potential.

Rehabilitation involves the restoration of a injured, diseased, or disabled part.
