Female-Only Profession
Physical therapy began as a female-only profession in 1921 (in part in response to WWI), the first professional association was known as the American Women’s Physical Therapeutic Association. With 274 members, and its first president—Mary McMillan—physical therapy was known as a “women’s health” profession. However, in 1922, the name was changed to the American Physiotherapy Association and men were allowed to join. Currently, the organization goes by the moniker of the American Physical Therapy Association (APTA) and represents over 95,000 in the U.S. alone.

An average heart beats 100,000 times a day, pumping some 2,000 gallons of blood through its chambers. Over a 70-year life span, that adds up to more than 2.5 billion heartbeats.
Massage In Ancient Egypt
While the earliest definitive references to massage come from China about 5000 BCE, references to medical “healing” through massage began to show up around 3000 BCE in wall paintings and carvings.
One of the earliest references to any kind of massage was found in the adornments of the tomb of Ptahhotep. Ptahhotep (25th century BCE, 5th dynasty) was a vizier, a top official serving the pharaoh. Both vizier and the pharaoh were depicted receiving a manicure, pedicure and having his legs massaged with oils by a servant. Many believe this to be an early positive record of reflexology.
Throughout the dynasties that followed, many depictions found on temple walls show foot massage, and scenes of the preparation of essential oils. Occasionally, a detail reference to massage as in those found in medical papyrus (dated to reign of Amenhotep III, 12th dynasty).
In later times, therapeutic massage appeared to become more common among soldiers. Depictions of the battle of Kadesh show soldiers of Ramesses II receiving massage after a long march, for example.
Ancient Egyptian massage likely wasn’t the same as today’s therapeutic massage, although many of the elements have been incorporated. Egyptian massage, at least in the earliest form, focused on energy pathways (KA) and was all about correcting imbalances in blockages and restoring energy flow. This is similar to reflexology and many other eastern modalities of massage.

Your Gym Membership
Think your fitness class or gym session makes up for the fact you sit at a desk all day? Think again. According to a number of research studies, sitting for long periods of time puts you at risk of dangerous illnesses such as heart disease and diabetes, even if you are otherwise physically active. While you may spend an hour at the gym or playing sports each day, think about what you are doing for the other 23 hours. It is important to make an effort to move more often throughout the day in any way you can; even the smallest activities done regularly can make a difference to your health.
