Hippocrates ANSWERWas a Greek physician and is described as the Father of European Medicine and now Western Medicine.
He is reported to have described spinal manipulation and manipulative techniques as 'rhachiotherapy'.
Hippocrates is quoted as saying that manipulation of the spinal column was an old art, and that he
thought highly of those who first discovered its importance and who would follow him in furthering the
art of natural healing.
Writing about
articulations,
Hippocrates described 'pararthremata' as similar to slight dislocation or subluxation, in which the vertebrae are only slightly shifted, and he went on to write that the"eyes and hands of the experienced physician should not miss anything which could be helpful in adjusting the shifted vertebra without harming the patient.... if treatment is performed lege artis, the patient can come to no harm".
thailand ANSWERAlthough it's customary to start with Hippocrates, it is important to realize various "Eastern" philosophies associated with manual therapy can also be traced back to similar time, even with some outdating Hippocrates. For example, in Thailand, manual stretches were described 200 B.C.
claudius galen ANSWERFollowing Hippocrates, Galen stands out as one of the next prominent proponents of manual therapy.

Osteopathy explained ANSWERThe first important school teaching manipulation on a professional basis in modern times was the osteopathic school founded by Andrew Taylor Still, MD.
A.T. Still (1828 - 1917) served as a surgeon in the American Civil War and then worked as a general practitioner. He grew to reject the prevailing medical practices of frequent amputation and the overuse of drugs, when in 1874 (in Missouri) he lost 3 of his children to an epidemic now identified as viral meningitis. Although he was a physician, he had no way to cure them - no way to help them.
He developed a new system of medicine "osteopathy" because it was based on anatomy. He developed his methods of diagnosis and treatment by relying on the belief that the human being should be treated as a unit. A person cannot get sick in one area of his body without having other areas affected.
