Clinical Pearls

We offer these clinical pearls to help support our Physical Therapy community and to recognize that our goal is to not only promote pro bono physical therapy services throughout California, but to also expect the highest level of quality care to all who receive physical therapy. We welcome the submission of additional clinical pearls using the same format presented here. Please contact John Gray regarding your submission ideas.
