A Samplking of PT Journals

  • The journal of orthopaedic and sports physical therapy (JOSPT)
    The Journal of Orthopaedic & Sports Physical Therapy publishes scientifically rigorous, clinically relevant content for physical therapists and others in the healthcare community to advance musculoskeletal and sports-related practice.
  • Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research
    The Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research (JSCR) strives to advance the knowledge about strength and conditioning through research. A unique aspect of this journal is that it includes recommendations for the practical use of research findings. While the journal name identifies strength and conditioning as separate entities, strength is considered a part of conditioning. This journal wishes to promote the publication of peer-reviewed manuscripts which add to our understanding of conditioning and sport through applied exercise science
  • Physical & Occupational Therapy in Pediatrics
    Physical & Occupational Therapy in Pediatrics is a medical journal that provides information to all therapists involved in developmental and physical rehabilitation of infants, children and youth. Designed for PT and OT pediatric professionals in hospitals, rehabilitation centers, schools, and health and human services agencies, the journal provides clinical research and practical applications. Current clinical advances and research findings are important for all therapists, and each issue of this journal brings therapists the latest discoveries in therapy as related to their work with children. With an emphasis on implications and applications for therapy practice, the journal includes case reports, and reviews/critiques of new measures
  • Physical Therapy in Sport
    Physical Therapy in Sport is an international peer-reviewed journal that provides a forum for the publication of research and clinical practice material relevant to the healthcare professions involved in sports and exercise medicine, and rehabilitation. The journal publishes material that is indispensable for day-to-day practice and continuing professional development. Physical Therapy in Sport covers topics dealing with the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of injuries, as well as more general areas of sports and exercise medicine and related sports science.
  • Journal of physical therapy science
    The Journal of Physical Therapy Science is the official academic journal of the Society of Physical Therapy Science.
    The aim of the Journal of Physical Therapy Science (JPTS) is to accelerate the progress of physical therapy research in Asia and other areas. Original papers submitted to the journal should deal with significant topics of interest in physical therapy.
