As physiotherapists we are passionate about sound evidence based practice both in our own professional as well as other health matters. Over the years we have seen a change in patients looking up information online to diagnose and help treat themselves. We are also all bombarded with various media stories regarding health. Unfortunately not all of this information is accurate or evidence based. The NHS website is a good place to seek out health information that is accurate and based on good practices. The behind the headlines page is also a very useful summary of health news.

Having access to information online can be very useful, but please ensure that you are reading from reputable sources and be mindful of where you go for information.
