Symbols of Physiotherapy: The old and the new.
A história da Fisioterapia também é representada por meio de símbolos. Os símbolos, pela sua natureza, evocam num determinado contexto algo abstrato ou distante. No caso da Fisioterapia brasileira vários símbolos foram utilizados, sofrendo modificações ao longo do tempo, evoluindo sempre, até obter a forma atual, institucionalizada pelo Conselho Federal de Fisioterapia e Terapia Ocupacional.
