Practical Resource

The Physical Therapy Toolkit is a comprehensive, 613-page practical resource developed to support physical therapists working with patients diagnosed with physical disabilities, chronic conditions, and geriatric disorders. The PT Toolkit provides therapists with 77 concisely written treatment guides and a collection of 245 full-page illustrated patient handouts that can be used as visual guides both during and after patient treatments.

As a practical resource, the PT Toolkit is conveniently accessible to therapists in eBook format (PDF) and as a print book. The Toolkit is utilized by PT’s around the world with handouts available in English as well as Spanish and French.

The PT Toolkit was written and illustrated by Cheryl A Hall OT, a licensed occupational therapist in the United States with over 30 years hands-on experience with adults and children in both clinical and home-based settings.
