Do you feel the role of Physio, never mind Specialist Physio, is to walk people, suction people or give advise on recovery times?

If I take someone for a walk then it is to assess or review their walking; if I suction someone then it is because I have just managed to free copious amounts of sputum; if I give advise, it is not solely confined to recovery times and I would not want a care worker to advise on this either.

I think I know what you mean, but it might pay for others if you explain statements like that a bit further. :-)
