Physiotherapy is designed to improve movement and physical health—but who is protecting the health of the physiotherapists themselves? Physiotherapists regularly perform manual therapy, assist patients, maintain clinical positions, and carry out repetitive movements. While these activities are essential to patient care, they can also expose professionals to considerable physical strain. An opinion article published in the Ergonomics International Journal explores how emerging technologies could change the way occupational ergonomic risks are identified and managed in physiotherapy. The article, titled “Smart Ergonomics in Physiotherapy: From Reactive Injury Prevention to Predictive Occupational Health,” examines the transition from traditional ergonomic practices toward technology-assisted, data-driven occupational health. Why Ergonomics Matters in Physiotherapy Physiotherapists are trained to improve movement, reduce pain, and enhance patients' quality of life. Ironically, t...

Metaphysics has always asked some of the most fundamental questions human beings can formulate. What exists? What is reality? What does it mean to exist? Can human beings genuinely know reality? Does existence have meaning? For centuries, philosophical traditions attempted to answer these questions through comprehensive systems of thought. However, modern philosophy increasingly examined the limits of human reason, while postmodern philosophy challenged assumptions about universal truth, stable meaning, language, and objective knowledge. Despite these challenges, metaphysical questions have never disappeared. Instead, they continue to return in different forms. The article “Metamodernism and the Recovery of Metaphysics” examines whether metaphysics can be reconsidered within the emerging framework of metamodernism. Rather than attempting to restore traditional metaphysical certainty, the discussion proposes a more cautious and open approach to questions of reality, existence,...
