Nevertheless different forms of treatment, such as electricity, hydrotherapy, massage and manipulation, were used to treat the patients. Massage had a murky history, being associated with quackery and immorality but, by the time the First World War broke out, a Society of Trained Masseurs had been formed. 1 Exercise, massage and manipulation The evolution of systematic exercise as a form of treatment was accredited to Pehr Ling (1776-1839) who was a Swedish practical physiologist.
When he died in 1839, there was a permanent organisation and a devoted band of pupils to carry on his work of remedial gymnastic exercises. This was called the Swedish drill. Swedish gymnastics were introduced into British schools when the local school boards, following the extension of schooling through the Education Act of 1870, were faced with sickly and undersized children. Physical education colleges emerged across the country to train the women teachers and most took up the Ling system of educational gymnastics although some authorities preferred the exercises for the re-education of ataxic muscles devised by Professor Ernst von Leyden (1832-1910) and Dr Heinrich Frenkel (1860-1931).

He could have been referring to shell shock patients or patients with other types of neurological injuries. Arrangements were made for patients to be segregated under specific disabilities but there is no mention at all of spinal patients.
