I read many articles published in the internet about physical therapy being the same as massage therapy and chiropractic manipulation. Physical Therapy Let us define each word first. The word “physical” means having to do with the body or material world involving natural forces. “Therapy”, as we all know means to attend, to treat, to heal, or to cure. A well definition of physical therapy as defined by Wikipedia is “the provision of services to people and populations to develop, maintain and restore maximum movement and functional ability throughout the lifespan. It includes the provision of services in circumstances where movement and function are threatened by the process of aging or that of injury or disease.” Rehabilitation The word “rehabilitation” is always associated with the word rehab which is popularly known as drug ...

Physical Therapy And Arthritis: Getting Back What's Been Taken
2007-04-25 08:04:00 By Greg Marsh Physical therapy can do what nothing else can do for your arthritis. Medications can lessen the pain and help to slow the progression of your condition. Surgery can help to fix the severely damaged joint. But, physical therapy can help you to get back what arthritis has taken from you. Most doctors will provide you with a treatment plan that will include some forms of arthritic physical therapy unless your body is beyond that point. While it will not be the only thing that your doctor has you do, it will be a key component to helping to get yourself back on track. What’s The Goal? Physical therapy has one goal when it comes to arthritis. That goal is to help you to improve the use of your joint so that you can get back into doing the things that you like and need to do without pain. Since your joints are at a point that they are being attacked, it is important to give your joint the help it needs to strengthen your muscles and to help increase the range of motion ...
Physical Therapy Is Not All The Same
2007-04-14 02:06:00 I received this email from a reader in Cleveland, OH and I thought this would make a great discussion topic on our blog. Looking forward to everyone's comments.Just discovered it last night - I am a rowing coach and sculler and have had many experiences w/ your profession between some of my own injuries and those of my athletes. As with any profession, quality and skill varies widely; I would be very interested to read what you and your blogmates have to say regarding ways laypeople can (a) find more talented ones and (b) determine if they should switch to another practitioner. For example, I have seen patients complaining of medial knee pain immediately assigned a kind of prepackaged set of knee exercises (i.e. tke, 1-legged 1/2 squuats, etc.) without any attempt (by referring m.d. or p.t.) to determine whether the knee pain might arise from some other issue or joint.I realize that a p.t.'s initial approach will vary w/ the nature of the complaint, and that favored modalities ca...
American Heart Association Pushing Physical Therapy over NSAIDs
2007-03-05 01:07:00 The American Heart Association issued guidelines this past week which encourages physicians to limit drug therapy for pain, especially NSAIDs. Their statement reports that there is strong evidence that NSAIDs (excluding aspirin) are associated with an increased risk of heart attacks and stroke. Part of their statement notes that 'patients should be treated first with nonmedicinal measures such as physical therapy, hot or cold packs, exercise, weight loss, and orthotics before doctors even consider medication, said the AHA scientific statement published in the journal Circulation.'Great press for the use of physical therapy!Doctors Warned About Common Drugs for PainNSAIDs Tied to Risk of Heart Attack, StrokeBy Shankar VedantamWashington Post Staff WriterTuesday, February 27, 2007; Page A08 Save This Page
Physical Therapy Job Outlook=Good?
2007-02-24 00:23:00 While I was unable to attend this year's Combined Sections Meeting of the APTA in Boston, one of the few topics my colleagues have discussed upon their return was the career outlook for the field of physical therapy. Fortunately, the outlook for job growth of physical therapists ranks in the top 5 of 50 according to CNNmoney.com. Given that I graduated from physical therapy school in 1999, where there were no jobs to be had (who do I blame for this...the APTA, medicare, etc), this is a welcome change for the profession.However, upon looking at the salaries for the top 50 best jobs in America, where do you think physical therapists rank? It turns out that the average pay for physical therapists is $54,883, placing our profession in the bottom 5 of CNNmoney.com's list.How is our profession going to maintain and recruit high quality individuals when the compensation may not be sufficient for some. While this seems disturbing, I guess it is better to be on their list than not reco...

It took me about 5 minutes to complete the registration and profile information (no photo as of yet). The site features a number of communities based on practice interest and allows you to share information and participate in online meetings with colleagues.Check it out and let us know what you think.
