The ethics of physiotherapy contained in the ethical codes of physiotherapy emphasize the importance of continuous professional development, cooperation with other health professionals, the application of a holistic approach in working with patients, understanding one's own self and the chosen life role of a physiotherapist. Ethical principles should be embodied in therapeutic work and be part of the physiotherapist's therapeutic responsibilities towards his profession and relationships with others, especially with ethical principles such as patient autonomy, professional responsibility, integrity and empathy. The paper presents an analysis of key philosophical concepts such as the "wounded healer" archetype, a construct that was first presented by Carl Gustav Jung, but whose foundations can be found in Greek mythology, while Friedrich Nietzsche elaborated this construct later. The elements of this construct are important for understanding the ethical principles that should be followed in physiotherapy, and therefore this paper provides a deeper understanding of physiotherapy as a medical profession and highlights the necessity of integrating ethical and humanistic values into the practice of physiotherapists in order to achieve optimal outcomes for patients and improve health care. In conclusion, this professional philosophical review provides a deeper understanding of physiotherapy as a medical profession and highlights the necessity of integrating ethical and humanistic values into the practice of physiotherapists in order to achieve optimal outcomes for patients and improve health care
