Abstract This study explores the role of physiotherapists in enhancing recovery for ICU patients, focusing on early mobilization and collaboration with other healthcare professionals. We conducted in-depth interviews with ten physiotherapists working in a tertiary hospital ICU and analyzed the data using thematic analysis. Key themes included the benefits of early mobilization, the challenges of working in an ICU, the importance of multidisciplinary teamwork, and strategies to overcome barriers. The findings highlight the significant impact physiotherapists have on patient recovery, emphasizing the need for effective communication, advocacy for resources, and patient-centered care. These insights could guide improvements in ICU practices and help physiotherapists provide better care.
