Abstract
If a patient who is receiving physiotherapy gets better, is this due to the physiotherapy, the physiotherapist or divine intervention? The credibility of physiotherapy in respiratory care is being much challenged in the pages of learned journals and on the shop-floor. This we must welcome.
Respiratory therapy is one of those technical orphans that grew up eluding the cold eye of scientific enquiry.
