NEW:

Two new and excellent links for current information for the clinician:

Physical Therapist Literature Updated (PTLitUp) Frank Conijn,PT, co-moderator of McKenzieStudy, has developed an EXCELLENT site/service for the access to current orthopedic literature, complete with research (and medical/English) dictionaries, algorithms and tests for the shoulder, editorials and explainations, and more.
The Rehab Spot Mark Schwall,PT, has developed a Physical Therapist discussion and information site, with plenty of opportunity for dynamic learning and interaction. It has a little of everything!

Information offered by McKenzieStudy member/researchers (Thank you!!!)
