Definition[edit | edit source]
Ethics is a systematic reflection on morality. Systematic because it is a discipline that uses special methods and approaches to examine moral situations and reflection because it consciously calls into question assumptions about existing components of moralities that fall into the category of habits, customs, or traditions.[1] The term moral refers to a group of notions about what is right or wrong in connection with one's own or others' action.[2] Physiotherapy in private practice must be considered both within an organizational frame and a frame of meaning.[3] The nature of the physiotherapy process includes examination, diagnostic assessment, evaluation, prognosis, plan of treatment, and re-examination in close interaction with the patient. From this follows that physiotherapy is relational.[4]
