Clinical Practice Guidelines for Physical Therapy - A Complete(ish) Collection
To help all PTs be better PTs, I'm collecting links to all the CPGs and putting them in one place so you can get easy access to them. These are all free, open access links below, grabbed right off the journal or academy website, as they should be. I recommend you download and save them somewhere on your computer in case these links change in the future. I don't trust academic journals to continue to provide access to these for free and neither should you.
If you have one to add, just hit this button to point me at it.
And if you like this, pop over to the home page and see what else PT Crab has to offer. Thanks!
