It’s probably as a result of the growth of the Critical Physiotherapy Network, but I’ve been asked to run one of the Physiotalk Tweet sessions next Monday evening (GMT), and I get to nominate what the topic is in advance. These are one hour-long Twitter based chats around a particular theme to do with physio. You can find some of the recent ones here.
It could be a great opportunity to talk about critical physiotherapy, the Network, philosophy and physiotherapy, etc., but I’m not sure what topic would work best, and so I need your help.
I’ve got 12 hours to decide what to do.
Can you send me your votes on this poll to give me an idea what would appeal to you, if you were going to take part. [Post update: the poll is now closed (suggestions submitted are presented below), but you can read a copy of the transcript & Dave’s reflection on hosting the Tweetchat here]
HI David – I have been enjoying your thoughtful Connectivity posts. You capture that tension between being a health care professional and being a disability ally. I tried to address this paradox in a 2011 publication in Physical Therapy. I’d be honored if you had a look at it and shared your thoughts. It could be a topic for your session. The reference is
Roush SE, Sharby N. Disability reconsidered: the paradox of physical therapy.
Thanks Susan. I do know this paper and am more than happy to post a reminder about it here.

how might evolution biology inform physiotherapy?

I thought Jenny Setchell’s piece on attitudes to obesity was fab – and may provide a good day to day reference / opener / mind changer to get people interested? A quick win? Perhaps you need to get a regular gig there………… too many good ideas.

Other physios have asked me this question when they find out what I did for my phd- exploring relationship development in Community -based physiotherapy using hermeneutic phenomenology as a methodology

Really looking forward to it. Will channel my inner “Neetcha”.

I think it’s important to ask “why is critical physiotherapy relevant/important?” and “what do we want to achieve as critical physiotherapists?” these questions can possibly be part of some of the other questions you have suggested. Congratulations on being invited to the Physiotalk discussion, I’ll have to go and check out my Twitter! Have a great day. Kate

Fantastic way to spread the word about the network

This is great that you’re doing this Dave. I ‘ve cast my vote. I think talking about what critical physiotherapy is will give you an opportunity to inform people about the Network. All best, Janet

Definitely my preferred choice would be how philosophy can inform physiotherapy.
