This collaborative work brings together scholars from fifteen disciplines across seven countries to question fundamental assumptions in physiotherapy practice. David Nicholls assembles thirty-nine contributors who argue for integrating critical theory into physiotherapy education and clinical work. The authors examine how professional knowledge has become more fluid and complex, moving beyond traditional disciplinary boundaries. They apply critical social theories and interdisciplinary approaches to core areas including evidence-based practice, patient experiences, embodiment, cultural factors, diversity issues, digital healthcare environments, and research methodologies. The collection targets academics, clinicians, educators, policymakers, and students within physiotherapy and related health disciplines. It provides frameworks for understanding how professional knowledge develops and circulates in contemporary healthcare settings.
