Here we go again, hating on physical therapy (the theme song does say “I’m my own worst enemy”…) There have been some recent pushes in the physical therapy world to promote what we do, but has this been the most honest, evidence-based approach?

Special guest Joshua Zadro from the University of Sydney School of Public Health and the Institute for Musculoskeletal Health is here to help us figure it out!
