Description

Physiotherapy stands at a major turning point in its history. Since the era of World War I, this profession has served as a leading allied health field and a primary provider of orthodox physical rehabilitation. However, new challenges are emerging that threaten its established status. This book explores how aging populations with chronic illnesses, growing skepticism toward biomedicine, and shifts in the healthcare economy are impacting the field. It examines the paradox of the profession's focus on the body-as-machine, a perspective that has made it difficult to identify current problems or define a path forward. Part of the Routledge Advances in Health and Social Policy series, this work provides a deep look into the sociological and economic factors affecting modern rehabilitation practices. It is an essential read for those studying the evolution of healthcare and the future of physical therapy in a changing world.
