Abstract
How to handle patients' bodies has been one of the key issues in medicine. It is the same in physical therapy which is one of the special fields in rehabilitation medicine. In most cases, the patients who need physical therapy have some sort of disorders or disabilities and sometimes they have to live under those conditions throughout their life. The bodies are not just physical media but they also include the mind. Then, when we handle patients' bodies, we are handling their minds at the same time. Therefore, our philosophical view of humans determines the level of handling patients' bodies.
