Our 2nd Critical Physiotherapy book is out!

After more than two years hard work by an amazing team of editors and writers, we are thrilled to announce that our 2nd collection of critical physiotherapy writings is now in print.

Mobilizing Knowledge: Critical Reflections on Foundations and Practices is a collection of 15 collaboratively written critical essays, by 39 authors, from 15 disciplines, and seven countries.

The book challenges some of the most important contemporary assumptions about physiotherapy knowledge, and makes the case for much more critical theory, practice, and education in physiotherapy health and social care.

Each chapter is a collaboration between a critical physiotherapist and someone from a different discipline, and the subjects range across the whole spectrum of new approaches and ideas.
