Piecing together a complex puzzle: how physiotherapists make sense of young women’s long-term health disorders

Physiotherapists make sense of young women's long-term health disorders by piecing together a complex understanding of these patients' conditions. Different perspectives can guide the treatment in various directions, posing challenges in clinical practice. Furthermore, cultural notions risk overshadowing individual patient needs. Time, trust, and openness are important for physiotherapists to understand each young patient's situation and needs and thus provide patient-centered physiotherapy.
