Physical Therapists' Perspectives on the Use of Telehealth With First Nations Peoples in Canada: A Qualitative Study
This study not only sheds light on the underutilization of telehealth but also underscores its potential to significantly improve the accessibility and efficiency of physical therapy to First Nations peoples in Canada. The findings emphasize the nuanced dynamics of therapeutic relationships in telehealth, offering critical insights for the integration of culturally sensitive practices.
