We know the challenges many clinicians face finding the time to browse medical journals or read countless research articles. Maybe you can relate?  You'll likely also agree that it is imperative that clinicians stay current as the research base behind the physiotherapy profession continues to expand.

That's why PT Health has started a new "Journal Library" designed specifically for Physiotherapists. As our library grows, clinicians (professionals and students) will now have easy access to the best available evidence. Articles have been collected along the following subject matters: Professional issues, physiotherapy scope of practice, musculoskeletal PT practice, neurological PT practice and cardiorespiratory PT practice.

Anyone interested can access the material and it is completely free.

Enhance Best Practices:

Our new journal library can assist you with building an evidence-based practice which can be defined as: high quality research implemented into clinical practice. Integration of evidence-based principles into clinical decision-making is fundamental to the physiotherapy scope of practice. The aim of evidence-based practice is to reduce wide variations in individual clinician’s practices, as well as eliminate worst practices and enhance best practices in all physiotherapy clinics and related employment.

As physiotherapists we need to conscientiously and judiciously use the best and most current evidence to guide and evaluate health care decisions in order to improve patient outcomes. By applying the evidence to inform clinical expertise and assist in clinical decision-making, as a clinician you can acquire the skills to more effectively manage your patient’s physical impairments, activity limitations and participation restrictions.

If you are looking to incorporate evidence-based practice into your clinical decision-making, review the best available evidence here.
