Will Mayo Clinic Have the Foresight to Suggest Physical Therapists?

We've all experienced the current model of health care delivery.  I'm also sure we have experienced, or know someone who has experienced, the lack of communication between health care providers.  We know that more and more people are turning to the internet for assistance in making health care decisions.

What happens when Mayo Clinic teams up with Microsoft Healthvault?  The partnership exists.  Automatically, there will be a  predominant feeling of trust.   The final product is so much more than Mayo Clinic offering a personal health record... this partnership includes a product that will provide guidance on managing the patient and the patient's family's health.

So, I wonder... I wonder if the guidance is evidence-based?  I wonder... I wonder if physical therapists are recommended for neuromusculoskeletal conditions?  Are the recommendations the same old, same old drug and surgery options?

If key guidance is based on the same old, same old recommendations, is there a possibility of lending a helping hand and sharing the role of physical therapists for neuromusculoskeletal conditions?
