Physical Therapy: The Good, The Bad and The Ugly
GBU S2:E8 - Is Evidence Based Therapy, hurting the profession?
Is Evidence-Based Practice Holding Physical Therapy Back?
In this thought-provoking episode, we dive into a growing debate in the rehab world: Is evidence-based practice actually limiting innovation and clinical reasoning in physical therapy? While research is essential, some argue that rigid adherence to published studies can stifle creativity, delay progress, and overlook the individual needs of patients. We explore both sides of the argument—when evidence is a guide vs. when it becomes a gatekeeper—and hear how clinicians can balance science with real-world experience. If you've ever questioned how much weight to give the latest RCT, this episode is for you.
🔍 Topics Covered:
- What really counts as evidence
- Limitations of current research in rehab
- The danger of "paralysis by analysis"
- Can innovation survive peer-reviewed constraints?
