THE DATE
On October 13, 1969, Decree Law 938 was regulated, which defines the development and conservation of a patient's physical capacity as a specific activity of physical therapists, in addition to being recognized as a professional with a higher education level. Since then, the physiotherapist's day has been celebrated on this date.

WHAT IT DOES?
The physiotherapist treats illnesses and injuries caused by accidents, genetic malformations or posture addictions, whether preventing, rehabilitating or curing.

Prevention is even considered the primary role of physiotherapy, whose professional must alert and guide the patient about the need to adopt adequate procedures in certain situations.

Reintegration or rehabilitation physiotherapy aims to reintegrate the person into society. Generally, the physiotherapist stimulates the neurological potential of the patient who has suffered injuries in the neurological area or has lost one of his limbs.

Curative physiotherapy, on the other hand, aims to restore movements lost as a result of serious injuries or restore muscle strength and vitality.

Regardless of the type of intervention, physical therapists can work in various fields of medicine such as orthopedics, obstetrics, pediatrics, geriatrics, rheumatology, sports medicine, neurology, cardiology and pulmonology.

The professional can choose one of several areas in the job market, including clinical physiotherapy, working in hospitals, offices, clinics, rehabilitation centers and outpatient clinics; collective health, where it develops health programs; education, teaching or developing research and in sports health, recovering athletes. In addition to specializing in certain therapeutic activities such as acupuncture, chiropractic care and osteopathy.
