Dori's Favorite Sites (Physical Therapy)

PTH 151 (Useful for other PTA classes too!)

Created by Dori Hildreth-Fischer, Physical Therapy Lab Manager & Instructor at NVCC's Medical Education Campus.

Note: You may need to download (free) plug-in information to your hard drive to get some visuals to work. Your Internet server may not recognize some of these sites. Sites come and go. Please alert me to any updated changes in the sites listed here. You will find additional sites in your PTH 151 Study Guide, as well as introduced in your other physical therapy classes. Thanks! Have fun...
