Annals of internal Medicine regularly publishes a series of Summaries for Patients – “a service provided by Annals to help patients better understand the complicated and often mystifying language of modern medicine.”
The June issue dealt with – “Physiotherapist-Directed Exercise, Advice, or Both for Low Back Pain”
I want to share this one with you since you certainly have these savvy patients (like me) that go to their health professional armed with a recent body of evidence to justify their health care decisions 🙂 Take a look on the full text here.

Here is a very recent article from the Aust J Physiother. 2007;53(2):121-6 about the Australian physio workforce.
Only the abstract of this article is free, however, it is interesting enough!
They found that: “The physiotherapy workforce has aged significantly since 1986 (p < 0.001), and women are older than men (p < 0.001). Forty-one percent of the 2001 physiotherapy workforce is predicted to retire by 2026, although around one-third of physiotherapists continue working after age 65. While physiotherapy remains a female-dominated profession, the proportion of males is increasing and has risen from 16% in 1986 to 27% in 2001. Physiotherapists are working longer hours than they did in the past, and while this is partly due to the increasing proportion of males in the workforce, generation X and Y females are also more likely to work longer hours than their predecessors.”
Read the abstract here.
Is Canadian physio workforce different? What do you sense out there in the field?

The new issue of Journal of Manual and Manipulative Therapy (Volume 15, issue 2) is up online on their site. What I like about this particular journal is that they provide some of the very interesting content freely on the site, aka Open Access.
This time, there is a very long editorial discussing chiropractic challenges to the PT scope of practice….very interesting – take a look 🙂
Moreover, Peter Huijbregts – the journal editor – says to me in his email that: “Open access content also includes an historical review paper by Dr. Thomas Terlouw on the early history of physical therapy in Europe and specifically in the Netherlands (http://jmmtonline.com/documents/v15n2/TerlouwV15N2E.pdf). This material discussed in this article that will likely expose some firmly held beliefs about our history as misconceptions has previously not been available to English-language readers due to the language barrier with most papers on this topic written in German, Swedish, and Dutch.
Book and multimedia reviews make up the remainder of the free online content.
Take a look yourself!

The article continues the series of Web 2.0 coverage in health that I co-author with other health librarians:
