I Wish I Knew This When I Was A PT Student: Diagnostics Matter!

In this video, Anthony, our physical therapist and diagnostician, shares one critical lesson he wishes he knew as a physical therapy student: the importance of diagnostics in clinical decision-making. In PT school, students are often taught to use special tests to help identify what is causing a patient’s symptoms. But these tests, while useful, are not always enough. Anthony explains why relying solely on physical exam findings can lead to missed or inaccurate diagnoses and how incorporating advanced diagnostics like EMG/NCV testing can elevate your clinical reasoning. If you're a current or future PT, this is a must-watch for expanding your diagnostic mindset beyond the classroom. Spine & Rehab Specialists Physical Therapy is located in El Paso, Texas.
