Body politics : a Foucauldian discourse analysis of physiotherapy practice

This thesis offers new insights into physiotherapy practice by asking 'how is physiotherapy discursively constructed?' Physiotherapy is a large, well-established, orthodox health profession. Recent changes in the economy of health care in developed countries, added to an increasing prevalence of chronic illness amongst aging populations, and growing public distrust for the established health professions, are now challenging physiotherapists to consider how best to adapt to the future needs of health care consumers. / Thesis (PhD)--University of South Australia, 2008
