Warning! Reading this post requires action.

I've often opined about the lack of Physical Therapist presence in the blogosphere.  Earlier this month I issued this challenge and a call for PT's to become bloggers. 

I'm happy to report that a few took up the challenge and we now have more than 3 PT-penned weblogs!  No small feat, as committing to a solid blog is a significant undertaking.  You need to be brave enough to write what others might see, tech-savvy enough to design a nice page, and dedicated enough to post regularly.

Now, before I offer an introduction to your PT-penned blogs, I must issue another call to action.  You see, blogs need readers.  More than that, they need subscribers.  Thousands of people read the Evidence in Motion blog, but surprising few have subscribed to these other PT related blogs.  My call to action then becomes a call for you to go visit these blogs, subscribe to the feed (or e-mail subscription if you must) and support your hard-working, brave colleagues!

Yeah, I'm including my blog, NPA Think Tank (recently featured by TypePad) in this list of blogs that would love your subscription support as well. 

As an aside, you will notice that all these blogs are written by men, leaving Rachael Lowe's Physiospot Blogs as still the only one hosted by a woman (although we should point out Selena Horner's posts here on EIM) in this largely female profession.  Ladies:  Join in!   

Check em out!

 

Physical Therapist Rover

A student-penned blog written by Johnny May.  This blog is a well-written glimpse inside the profession from a student's perspective.  But you may find Johnny is more than a student, he's an entertainer as well.

 

 

Evidence Based Rehab

Written by Jason Harris, who should be complimented for his use of the new BPR3 blogging standard when presenting posts on peer-reviewed research.

 

The Physical Therapy Etcetera Blog

Mark Schwall wants to tell you about Zotero, among other physical therapy related news and topics, etc.

 

So there you have it.  If anyone needs any blogging advice, I'm always available.  Contact info can be found on my page.

Credit should also be given to John Duffy, PT, whose long-running article-review site PTupdate.com could be seen as a grandfather to these blogs.

There are a few more interesting blogs out there written by PT's:

Ditto the above. There are many other PT blog sites not listed.

Mesodermal bias? ;)

Don't forget this one either.

Thank's for the recognition Eric. Nice to see one person has seen my blog.

I also want to echo Mr. Sheets comment regarding Duffy's PTUpdate.com website. He's back to making daily updates and the site is well worth the few dollars for access.

I wanted to add a self-promotion of my own blog about being a student pt:
