This episode is part 2 of a two-part series where we discuss how our profession’s lack of engagement with social theory has resulted in physiotherapy having some massive blindspots regarding who we are, what we do and what our future holds.

Our guest is Dr. Dave Nicholls, a Professor of Critical Physiotherapy in the School of Clinical Sciences at Auckland University of Technology in Aotearoa/New Zealand. Dave has authored two books: “The End of Physiotherapy” (2017, Routledge) and “Physiotherapy Otherwise” (2022, Tuwhera Open Access). He founded the Critical Physiotherapy Network and the International Physiotherapy History Association, and more recently ParaDoxa, which is a site for people interested in studying the many ‘posts’ now disrupting orthodox healthcare. Dave is an Executive Member of the Environmental Physiotherapy Association and will be the 2024 Conference Chair for the “In Sickness & In Health” Conference.
