in the constantly changing world of medicine can seem like a daunting task. Speaking with physical therapy professionals in the field is a good way to learn about cutting-edge information. Practitioners use a myriad of techniques and often strive to find new ways to treat pain and injury through a "whole person" approach. Treatment may include injury prevention, exercise and rehabilitative measures. Trained physical therapists may have a specialized niche or they may prefer to use general therapy practices to capture a wider population of clients. Follow these steps to learn more information.
Things You'll Need:
Computer with Internet access
Find Physical Therapy Resources Online
1
Look for physical therapy clinics that have Web pages. They may also have a place where you can sign up to get newsletters. Typically, these newsletters will be free.
2
Become a member of Physical Therapy organizations like the "American Physical Therapy Association" (see Resources below). Benefits like searchable job openings, newsletters and research publications on therapy modalities are available on their Web site.
3
Join the "American Physical Therapy Association" as a student and pay less in dues. Dues for a local chapter will be added, depending on the state where you're going to school.
4
Read newsletters for helpful practice management tips about reimbursement and ideas for dealing with patient issues.
Seek Alternative Ways to Enrich Your Physical Therapy Knowledge
1
Get involved in your local health care community to learn effective practice management skills from other therapy professionals. Network with physical therapy offices to see what methods you may benefit from using.
2
Go to the bookstore and get books on physical therapy or business skills. Expanding your repertoire of practical and procedural methods may increase the success of your business and increase patient satisfaction. This often generates referrals.
3
Find a physical therapist willing to be your mentor. Sometimes the most beneficial knowledge can be learned from another practitioner's successes or failures. A mentor will also be a helpful person to listen to new ideas you may be tempted to explore.
Tips & Warnings
Speak with other professionals to single out publications and newsletters dealing with your physical therapy specialty.
Classes and educational seminars aren't a substitute for a formal training program.
Do not attempt to treat severe injury or medical emergencies with physical therapy. If you're experiencing numbness or severe pain in your limbs go to the hospital immediately.
