Abstract
The foundation of contemporary rehabilitation is
physiotherapy, which has its roots in patient-centred
care, clinical reasoning, and developing scientific data.
Conflicts in physiotherapy treatment are prevalent,
even with these guiding principles. Healthcare
professionals' disagreements, miscommunications
between patients and providers, different
interpretations of the evidence, or discrepancies
between clinical experience and patient expectations
can all lead to these conflicts. Evidence-based practice
(EBP) provides a methodical and moral way to address
these conflicts while maintaining the quality of care as
the field develops.
