The first episode of many exploring clinical practice guidelines for Physical Therapists. Clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) are compilations of data that are condensed into guidelines and given ratings of strength for application. It's important to know the levels of evidence available, but sometimes the guidelines are super vague and unhelpful. I want to fix that. I go over the evidence, why the rating was given and how to apply it. This is my first go at this, but I found it very insightful and the future ones will only get better.

Thanks for listening!
