APA Patient Information Cards

Who compiles these cards?
The APA has developed a series of high quality patient information cards that cover a wide range of common injuries and conditions. The cards were developed in consultation with the APA's National Special Groups so they encompass a high level of expertise while they explain the science of physiotherapy in plain language.
If you are a physiotherapist or doctor, the APA has a number of Patient Information Cards to assist you in your practice. These cards:

  • provide high quality patient information in a handy format
  • address an injury/condition and educates accordingly
  • provide safe advice on how to look after the injury/condition and its best management thereafter

Order these cards from the APA online shop or from the APA National Office.
