DM #77: And just like that, the nail got hit directly on the head.
Let's face it, most people have no idea what physical therapist actually do, and how much they can help them. We are movement experts, we specialize in prophylactic care (and no, I'm not talking about birth control?), we can treat everything from your skin wounds to your traumatic brain injury, and we can help you out, no matter how young or old you are.
Physical therapist need to stop battling amongst themselves, nitpicking over research or the lack there of, and need to start focusing their attention on the public. Other physical therapists already know what we do. It's time we set our sights on the folks were trying to help, and educate them on just what it is that we do. After all, it doesn't matter how smart you are, what techniques you use, or how many studies you've published; you're not gonna help anybody if they have no idea you even exist.
