New book – Physiotherapy Otherwise – is on the way!

Four years in the writing and 20 years in the making, the book-length follow up to The End of Physiotherapy is on the way.

And best of all, it will be entirely free to download.

The four blinded peer reviewers have described the book as ‘exemplary’, ‘highly original’, ‘the single most important book in physiotherapy since physiotherapy’, a ‘‘must read’ for all physiotherapists’, and ‘a groundbreaking, timely, and beautifully executed book’.

Physiotherapy Otherwise is a book about the sociology of physiotherapy. It takes readers through a century of writing on the sociology of the professions, and shows how this literature – almost entirely ignored by physiotherapists to date – can help us understand where physiotherapy came from, why it’s facing today’s problems, and where it might be going.

Most importantly, the book makes a radical suggestion for how physiotherapy might need to change.

The book will be released in January, and there will be a Print-on-Demand option for those who want a physical copy.

I’ll be posting some teasers from the book over the next few weeks, so keep your eyes peeled on the Critical Physiotherapy Network site for more updates.
