The nature of the female patient–physiotherapist relationship in Saudi Arabian musculoskeletal outpatient settings: a constructivist grounded theory

Abstract

The relationship between the physiotherapist and the patient is fundamental to the delivery of musculoskeletal healthcare. In order to deliver high quality patient care it is vital that an effective therapeutic relationship is established. To date, there has been very little research into the nature of the patient–physiotherapist relationship and none has been conducted in Saudi Arabia. This study explored the nature of the female patient-physiotherapist relationship in Saudi Arabian musculoskeletal outpatient settings.
