Abstract

The purpose of physiotherapy practice is to maximize movement to enable enhancement of functional capability in the life of peoples. The process of effective communication between therapist and patients is the major focus of accomplishing these goals. Two of the established approaches used in health communication are the bio psychosocial model and the patient-centered care which has been advocated to be used as a guide in the physiotherapy practice. In this chapter, with the help of examples of communication in practice that are obtained empirically, we discuss the possible existence of connections between these approaches and communication in physiotherapy and its nature. We derive information about two different qualitative surveys of communicative interactions in primary practice physiotherapy settings. The results of these two studies have shown that physiotherapy clinical communication is put into place and steered by physiotherapists, as well as being flexible and responsive with reference to the needs of a specific patient. Even though communication was systematic and clinically focused, it was indicated that adjustments such as casual conversation, humour and touches were subtle mediating forces. These were communicative adaptations that were dynamic, interpretive and relational that took place in the interaction between a patient and a physiotherapist. These results do not compare with the patient-centered and bio psychosocial approach in descriptions to communication that emphasize how the patient perspective should be mentioned clearly in communication. We have the potential explanations of the perceived gap between communication theory and practice in physiotherapy as discussed in our discussion. Overall, the articles point to the fact that more research should be conducted on reference to examining the physiotherapy communication processes to produce the interactional theories as a representation and framing of the physiotherapy clinical communication.
