The Physio is an incredibly powerful, and totally unforgettable, narrative that explores the present and the past of author, Jonathan Smith, a man whose life has been upended by Parkinsons - a condition that threatens to take away his independence and identity. As he painstakingly relearns to perform the simplest tasks with his left hand, he is forced to confront his limitations and the reality of his condition. But it is within the walls of the physiotherapy room that Jonathan finds an unexpected ally in Clare, his physiotherapist - whose expertise and adventurous spirit challenge him to push beyond his boundaries. As Jonathan grapples with the frustrations of daily life, Clare becomes more than just a therapist; she becomes a mentor and confidante. Their relationship, rooted in mutual respect and understanding, blossoms as they share stories, fears, and laughter - each session a step closer to Jonathan''s physical and emotional healing. But the book is also a vivid account of the books and plays that he has written as well as those that he has read, and one begins to understand that this is not just a book about healing but an autobiography, a total life, viewed through the lens of literature.
