Clinician Effectiveness Guides

For each of the Clinical Syndromes created on this site, we have begun to develop evidence based management principles for the physical therapist. The information contained in the following pages is an accurate representation of the current available research at the time of writing and will be updated periodically.

The information on these pages is intended to help guide physical therapists as they seek to provide the best care for their patients. The information on this page should not take the place of the direction and instruction of a qualified physical therapist and if there is any doubt, a second opinion should be sought.
