I didn't read research because I hated looking for it. Now I don't have to.
Rebecca, Outpatient PT
I subscribed for our whole clinic. It's that useful. Now we have to have Crab meetings every week to talk about what we just read. It's been huge for us.
Michelle, Clinic Manager
I hated EBP. I never thought reading research was for me. But somehow PT Crab makes it funny. And I get it now.
Emily, Outpatient PT
