Abstract
A push for the use of evidence-based medicine and evidence-based practice patterns has permeated most
health care disciplines. The use of evidence-based practice in sports physical therapy may improve health
care quality, reduce medical errors, help balance known benefits and risks, challenge views based on
beliefs rather than evidence, and help to integrate patient preferences into decision-making. In this era of
health care utilization sports physical therapists are expected to integrate clinical experience with conscientious, explicit, and judicious use of research evidence in order to make clearly informed decisions in
order to help maximize and optimize patient well-being. One of the more common reasons for not using
evidence in clinical practice is the perceived lack of skills and knowledge when searching for or appraising
research. This clinical commentary was developed to educate the readership on what constitutes evidencebased practice, and strategies used to seek evidence in the daily clinical practice of sports physical
therapy.
