Consequently, these challenges may lead to musculoskeletal deconditioning, loss of function, and sedentary behavior. Trauma focused physiotherapy, an emerging area of physiotherapy practice, is used to manage the negative effects of traumatic events and to restore wellbeing and function. This study aimed to explore the perceptions of trauma\u2010exposed refugees in a trauma\u2010focused physiotherapy group intervention program.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Using a qualitative approach, three focus groups (\n                      <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u00a0=\u00a018 clients) and 9 individual interviews were conducted with refugees with a history of trauma exposure who had received trauma\u2010focused physiotherapy services sponsored by a non\u2010government organization in Jordan.
