    We all ask the question "what works, for which condition, in which patient?". EPB is critical factor for the whole profession and sports PT needs to address EBP. We need to start to generate evidence based on clinical questions and also utilise other domains of evidence. We can all aim to improve sports PT through discussion and debate.

    The physiotherapy profession internationally has heeded the call to research their practices and ultimately to provide research informed and evidence based interventions to their patients. While evidence is available, the effect sizes of many interventions are modest. The intervention outcomes of clinical trials often suffer from 'wash out' effects with some individuals responding well to the intervention and others poorly. It is argued that this may reflect the lack of recognition of the heterogeneity of patients who are grouped into categories such as 'mechanical neck pain' and an assumption that one intervention suits all patients. It is advocated that effect sizes of interventions may be improved if researchers and clinicians can develop schemes to better subgroup or characterize patients and ensure that interventions are tested which are tailored to patients' presenting disorders.
