The International Biophilia Rehabilitation Academy (IBRA) is a growing international body devoted to innovative rehabilitation medicine. The literary meaning of the word 'biophilia' is 'love' for 'life'. That is actually the essence of rehabilitation. Rehabilitation, in the past, was most often associated with neuro-musculo-skeletal recuperation after trauma or various somatic diseases. This meaning has considerably evolved in recent times. We now talk about organ, like the lung, or system, like the respiratory system, rehabilitation. Psychological and anti-stress rehabilitation has moved to the center stage of late, which, in particular, concerns counteracting of the aging process. Since the aging process is not a pathological condition, the latter area of rehabilitation is not related to a disease - quite a change from the original concepts of medical rehabilitation.
