Nadia El-Seoud - 30 DoS - Day 4

Tell us a little about your current work and study, especially how you think and practice critically

My name is Nadia El-Seoud. I am a physiotherapist and Ph.D.-candidate at the University, Bremen (Germany). It is my aim to support the physiotherapy’s developing-process by uncovering opportunities for development. My focus is on physiotherapy in the context of living conditions. My current study explores a living environment oriented physiotherapy.

What do you bring to the CPN?

I support a critical thinking physiotherapy with my values like equity and encourage social cohesion. Therefore, I use the spirit of the social sciences in addition to my interest and my experiences as a physiotherapist in the fields of research, education and practice.

How would you like to see the critical physiotherapy community develop over the next few years?

I am convinced that the community of critical thinking will grow and that critical thought processes will play a bigger part in physiotherapy-training/education.

How would you like to see the broader physiotherapy profession develop?

It would be great if physiotherapists worldwide would notice opportunities to practice physiotherapy with an eye on societal needs. Physiotherapists need to become aware of the potential for integration/inclusion, prevention, participation.
