Abstract
Interactions between people getting to know each other and working together can be seen as strongly narrative in nature. Narrative places emphasis on temporality (events occurring over time) and the telling of those events (Rimmon-Kenan, 2006). In this chapter, the concepts of story and narrative inform the author’s research into community-based physiotherapeutic relationships, arguing that stories are an essential part of human relationships.
