Integrating knowledge and improving clinical reasoning

This is an older, but still very relevant, posting about how to best integrate new knowledge within the broad field of manual therapy. With so many diverse streams of information, and instructors sometimes teaching with extreme bias to their techniques, how do we best integrate and synthesize this information?

A few quotes...


"participants need to maintain their vigilance, and critically evaluate and question the material presented"...

"should demand evidence of speakers and objectively examine their arguments in the light of current scientific understanding, whilst keeping an open mind to new ideas, even if they seem to contradict previously accepted notions."

"the successful management of many clinical problems requires well-developed clinical reasoning, often drawing on a number of manual therapy approaches."
