PTNow - access to clinical practice guidelines



PTNow is where you live—striving to do the best for your patients, within the constraints of bigger and bigger caseloads, less and less time, and more and more information to look up and assess.

PTNow is in aggressive, constant development. Get an overview of what's available to you and start exploring PTNow.

PTNow's mission is to assist physical therapists and physical therapist assistants in day-to-day practice.

PTNow is designed to:

  • Make it easier for you to use the best available evidence in patient care
  • Lead you to external resources that have been vetted for relevance and credibility
  • Help you improve your efficiency


PTNow will be your "multi-tool":

  • Translation tool-for translating research to knowledge for practice
  • Implementation tool-for implementing evidence in the evaluation and treatment of patients
  • Collaboration tool-for sharing information and strategizing when evidence is lacking


PTNow has the long-term goals of helping the physical therapy profession:

  • Reduce unwarranted variation in practice
  • Demonstrate the value of physical therapist services to the health care system
