Guest guest Posted July 5, 2006 Report Share Posted July 5, 2006 If I could add to this request; we are considering enhancing our outpatient clinic for Bariatrics. If there are special situations that have been discovered or particularities in equipment (obviously they need to accommodate excessive weight), this information would be helpful. Is there a best practice web sight for physical therapy? Thank you. s- PT, Cert MDT Bronson Methodist Hospital Rehabilitation Educator sB@...
