“…Critical physiotherapists have critiqued (or "problematized") a range of assumptions and practices that pervade healthcare and physiotherapy including, for example, how we understand and address movement (Bjorbaekmo, 2010;Wikstrom-Grotell & Eriksson, 2012), disability (Gibson, 2006), weight stigma (Groven & Engelsrud, 2016;Rugseth & Standal ,2015;, the body (Hay, Connelly, & Kinsella, 2016;Jorgenson, 2000;, practices of touch , communication , and ethical reasoning (Edwards & Delaney, 2008). There are critical histories of physiotherapy Ottosson, 2015;Owen, 2014), critical pedagogies (Rowe, Bozalek, & Frantz, 2013;Trede, Higgs, Jones, & Edwards, 2003), and critical explorations of gender (DahlMichelsen, 2014;Hammond, 2009;Sudmann, 2009) and culture (Ihle & Sudmann, 2014;Nixon et al, 2015). This book builds on this emerging corpus of critical scholarship to explore the possibilities inherent in new ways of thinking, knowing, teaching, researching and doing physiotherapy.…”
