Physical therapy is an important part of treatment in practically all clinical medical disciplines. Due to traditional errors of many years standing, absence of teaching at medical faculties and certain disparagement on the part of official medical science, during prescription and practical implementa- tion some errors are committed which lead to failure of this therapy and may damage the patient. The objective of the present work is to draw attention to the most frequent errors, and not a detailed explanation of these errors and their complete list. For explanation of these errors the appropriate literature must be studied which will be found at the end of this paper.
