Book excerpt: Excerpt from Swedish Movements, or Medical Gymnastics Although known in this country for thirty years or more, the practice of Swedish movements has, until very recently, been con fined to scarcely more than half a dozen individuals, excluding, of course, those who, although attempting to practice the Swedish sys tem, have had so slight a knowledge of the subject that they cannot properly be said to have employed it. Within the last few years, however, the knowledge of the many cures effected by this system in cases otherwise deemed incurable, and especially the growth of interest in the physiological mode of treatment of disease, has created a widespread demand for a better knowledge respecting this system of medical gymnastics, which, though so little used in this and most other countries, has been very extensively employed in Sweden, the place of its origin, for more than three quarters of a century. It is for the purpose of meeting this demand for informa tion in relation to one of the most effective of therapeutic agencies, that this translation has been prepared. A few fragmentary works have previously appeared, but up to the present there has been no English publication upon this subject which could be regarded as authoritative.
