Understanding New Zealand physiotherapy scholars’ philosophies and practices of supported self-management: a qualitative study

Physiotherapist scholars appeared to endorse and/or engage with supporting self-management; however, there was a continuum of what this meant and how such support was delivered. Given that support requirements fluctuate, we suggest physiotherapists maintain a critically reflective stance and demonstrate flexibility to accommodate these inherent uncertainties.

Physiotherapist scholars appeared to endorse and/or engage with supporting self-management; however, there was a continuum of what this meant and how such support was delivered. Given that support requirements fluctuate, we suggest physiotherapists maintain a critically reflective stance and demonstrate flexibility to accommodate these inherent uncertainties.
