Physiotherapy is a profession synonymous with its hands, however there is much equipment we also use. The 100 Objects of Physiotherapy project aims to tell a story of the profession through the tools that it has used throughout its history. Some of the objects we’ve chosen are iconic, others are idiosyncratic, but all tell stories about physiotherapy from its earliest iterations to today.
Stage 1 of the project identified the 100 objects for the exhibition and the just completed Stage 2 provides a written explanation for each of the 100 objects. The text was written by volunteer members of the International Physiotherapy History Association and each provides a fascinating story on how the object came to be, and how the object came to be used in physiotherapy.
