The science of fixing the body without breaking it worse in the process.
means The branch of medicine concerned with treating and curing disease — the methods and practice of therapy itself.
from From Greek 'therapeutikos' (inclined to serve or take care of), rooted in 'therapeuein', to attend, serve, or treat medically — the same verb that gives us 'therapy'. The Greek root originally carried a sense of attending on someone, almost like a servant tending a master, before it narrowed into the clinical sense of tending to the sick.
