Our conclusion emphasizes the importance for individuals and managers to understand these social identity processes to effectively support PIP implementation in clinical practice.

This, in turn, allows clinicians to normalise and embrace vulnerability and the role of novices in their ongoing learning and development.

From interviews with self-identified PIP practitioners, we identified that such a shift represents a transformation of their social identity. This journey is not made in isolation, and leadership plays a pivotal role in creating safe social spaces that foster supported reflective practice.

We adopted the Social Identity Approach to delve into how social dynamics within clinical spaces and the profession influence the development of approaches like psychologically-informed physiotherapy (PIP).

Despite access to training and guideline recommendations to adopt more holistic approaches, traditional biomechanistic priorities continue to dominate physiotherapy practice.
