Origin: Formed within English, by compounding; modelled on a Swedish lexical item. Etymons: mechano- comb. form, therapy n.

Etymology: < mechano- comb. form + therapy n., after Swedish mekanoterapi (1882). Compare German Mechanotherapie (1894), French mécanothérapie (1901).The term refers primarily to a form of physiotherapy using exercise machines of a kind devised in the early 1860s by the Swedish orthopaedic doctor, Jonas Gustaf Vilhelm Zander (1835–1920). Zander founded the Medikomekaniska Institut in Stockholm in 1865, and similar institutes were subsequently set up in many other cities in Europe and elsewhere. Compare also the parallel formation mechanotherapia:1901 Westm. Gaz. 16 May 2/1 The Zander Institute at Paris is the home of mechanotherapia, or cure by mechanical means.

Medicine.
