What Is Evidence-Based Practice (EBP)?
Evidence-Based Practice (EBP) is the gold standard in physiotherapy. It means your treatment is guided by three core pillars:
-
The best available research evidence
-
Clinical expertise of your physiotherapist
-
Your individual goals, preferences, and values
At Pegasus Peak Physiotherapy, we don’t just do what’s trending — we apply proven methods backed by research, refined by experience, and personalised to you.
​​
Why Does It Matter?
Healthcare isn’t about “trying something and seeing what sticks.” It’s about using what works — for the right person, at the right time.
Evidence-based physiotherapy ensures:
-
Safer treatments
-
Faster recovery
-
Less trial-and-error
-
Better long-term outcomes
-
Accountability and transparency in care
It also protects you from outdated methods, fads, or pseudoscientific claims that waste your time and money.

How We Apply Evidence-Based Physiotherapy
​
1. Research-Driven Techniques
We constantly stay updated with high-quality clinical guidelines, systematic reviews, and randomised controlled trials.
Examples:
-
Exercise therapy for low back pain
-
Load management for tendinopathy
-
Manual therapy + movement for joint stiffness
-
Dry needling or cupping where supported and appropriate
-
Education and self-management as a core foundation for chronic conditions
​
​

2. Clinical Reasoning
We don’t just copy textbook protocols. We interpret the evidence based on your history, movement patterns, irritability, and functional needs.
Two people with the same diagnosis may need completely different treatments — because evidence doesn’t live in a vacuum.
​​​​​​
3. Patient-Centred Care
We prioritise your:
-
Goals (e.g. return to sport, sleep better, lift your kids)
-
Beliefs and expectations
-
Lifestyle, culture, and health background
You’ll never be forced into a “one-size-fits-all” program. Instead, we collaborate with you to make shared, informed decisions based on what’s effective and what matters most to you.

Examples of Evidence-Based Practice in Action
-
For ACL rehab, we follow progressive, criterion-based loading protocols — not just time-based return-to-sport.
-
For chronic pain, we combine movement exposure, graded activity, and pain neuroscience education.
-
For vestibular issues, we apply head movement and habituation tasks shown to improve stability and reduce dizziness.
-
For pediatric or neurological conditions, we draw from motor learning theory and updated guidelines for neuroplasticity-based rehab.
​
