The History of Physiotherapy

In 1894 four Nurses, Lucy Marianne Robinson, Rosalind Paget, Elizabeth Ann Manley and Margaret Dora Palmer founded the Society of Trained Masseuses. The Society was granted a Royal Charter in 1920 and in 1944 became the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy. The Society merged with the Faculty of Physiotherapists in 1968 and in 1970 amalgamated with the Physiotherapists Association.
