physiotherapy or physical therapy

Has the time come to change the term for physical therapy within the UK , Canada and Australia to physical therapy? In using the term physiotherapy does it not come with a heap of baggage and assunmptions which are no longer valid or are totally out of date? The term physiotherapy was adopted within the days of the British empire, and has many unspoken values and assumption associated with it. It would be interesting to find out what images the general public get when they hear the term "physiotherapy".

Hey, these days I have also been suffering from chronic shoulder pain. I wanted to take physiotherapy for pain relief but someone told me that acupuncture is more effective in comparison to physiotherapy. So I am now seeking suggestions for a good Mississauga acupuncturist. If you have any recommendations then please share!
