Physiotherapy in Occupational Health Laran Chetty

This project explored the role of occupational health physiotherapy from the perspectives of different stakeholders in order to inform the development of a new multiple-perspective conceptual framework to advance the practice of occupational health physiotherapists. Although this new conceptual framework cannot guarantee the success of the proposed role, it can assist occupational health physiotherapists in negotiating new and advanced working practices and potentially support the role embed within the mandate of an occupational health service. A secondary analysis of the multiple-perspective conceptual framework identified three core concepts, namely risk work, professional identity, and coaching.
