Physical Therapy Reviews is an international journal which aims to publish contemporary reviews, discussion papers and editorials within physical therapy, and in those basic and clinical sciences which are the basis of physical therapy. The journal is aimed at all those involved in research, teaching and practice within the area of physical therapy.

Reviews (both descriptive and systematic) are invited in the following areas, which reflect the breadth and diversity of practice within physical therapy:

• neurological rehabilitation
• movement and exercise
• orthopaedics and rheumatology
• manual therapy and massage
• sports medicine
• measurement
• chest physiotherapy
• electrotherapeutics
• obstetrics and gynaecology
• complementary therapies
• professional issues
• musculoskeletal rehabilitation

Subjects not specifically identified, but of direct relevance to the practice of physical therapy, will be covered by guest editorials and/or commissioned reviews as appropriate. Letters to the Editor, book and video reviews will also be included where appropriate. All reviews are subject to a peer review process.
