For physiotherapists

Guided assessment notes

The notes follow the order of Petty’s handbook: body chart, behaviour of symptoms, special questions, history, the physical examination per region with the accessory movements and the book’s symbols, then assessment and treatment. The note writes itself from the answers, and the starred findings come back to re-test at the next visit.
