“…Applying this lens to the knowledge base for physiotherapy helps us to recognize that biomedical and biomechanical research and knowledge largely dominate the evidence base for physiotherapy (Higgs and Titchen, 1995;Parry, 1997;Williams, 2007). In subscribing to the authoritative nature of this biomedical and biomechanical knowledge base, derived from a singular positivist epistemology, 'we may have inadvertently reduced the subtle complexities of health and illness to a narrow set of biological principles' (Nicholls and Gibson, 2010).…”

“…Previous literature has debated issues around knowledge and practice epistemology to guide and represent the physiotherapy profession, largely advocating for a diversity of approaches to knowledge generation and application that reflect the multi-faceted nature of physiotherapy practice (Edwards and Richardson, 2008;Higgs and Titchen, 1995;Noronen and Wikstrom-Grotell, 1999;Parry, 1997;Plack, 2005). This paper extends these discussions by examining the argument that in a field as (ontologically) complex as physiotherapy, a single, consensus-based practice epistemology is insufficient.…”

“…The interpretivist paradigm has the objective of comprehending “the world of human experience” (Cohen and Manion, 1994, p. 36) and can provide a deeper insight (from the point of view of those who live it) into the complex world of the lived experience (Schwandt, 1994). The interpretivist approach encourages researchers to be the main data collection tool, as this supports their engagement in the study and enhances the consistency of data collection (Parry, 1997). The research used New Zealand case studies to explore the perceptions of managers, employees and guests of the luxury accommodation experience.…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to explore how the luxury accommodation experience is created by investigating the perceptions of the three main participant groups – managers, employees and guests – using case studies from New Zealand. Design/methodology/approach An interpretivist case-study methodology was used. Eighty-one participants were interviewed (27 managers, 27 employees and 27 guests) from six luxury properties. Thematic analysis was conducted to inform the results. Findings The key themes identified in creating the luxury accommodation experience are: setting the stage; the ethos of the property; performances of the actors; and co-creation between the participants. Using the themes identified, a conceptual model of the creation of the luxury accommodation experience has been formulated. Practical implications The conceptual model can be used to assist managers to deliver a more positive and memorable experience of their properties. Strategies to enhance the luxury accommodation experience include: training; standards of procedure; staff incentives; and the use of effective communication tools. Originality/value This study identified the three alternative perspectives of managers, employees and guests regarding how the luxury accommodation experience is created. The luxury accommodation sector contributes to the economies of a number of nations and therefore it is important to highlight how it can be maintained and improved.

“…This was in response to claims by the medical profession that massage parlours were operating as brothels, and the nefarious practices of the day were obscuring the potential for massage as a remedial intervention [16]. Physiotherapy faces in two complementary directions [17]. One direction is towards technology; physiotherapists learn, deliver and experience their practice as a highly technical activity, embedded in medical practices, and driven by financial accountability and resource-limited commissioning.…”
