The World Confederation of Physical Therapists (WCPT)
Extracts from 'Moving On: A History of the New Zealand Society of Physiotherapy 1973-1999' by Jo Scrymgeour. In 2000 Jo was commissioned by the NZSP to produce the book which followed on from Enid Anderson's earlier history of the Society (titled 'New Zealand Society of Physiotherapists: Golden Jubilee 1923-1973'). Jo has kindly agreed to including the original text files for the book here.
