• Tell Us What You Think

    E-mail your feedback! PTNowBeta is the first version of a clinician portal designed to make it easier for physical therapists to find the best available evidence and apply it in patient care. The ultimate goals are to help physical therapists improve patient outcomes, reduce unwarranted variation in practice, and demonstrate value to the health care system.

    That's a tall order. First and foremost, this site has to be built to meet your needs. Over the coming weeks and months, PTNow will be adding and refining content based on what you tell us. We'll be seeking feedback using a number of different survey mechanisms, but in the meantime you can contact us at any time at ptnow@apta.org.

Now more than ever, physical therapists need to help monitor patients’ blood pressure.
