The human body is interconnected. Body systems can have effects on each other, meaning if something happens to one system, it can affect another system

Physical therapists need to understand other body systems for billing purposes, even if those systems aren't directly related to the issue. It ensures they can justify treatment

Knowledge of other body systems help physical therapists upsell additional services. By identifying potential issues in unrelated systems, they can recommended costly, unnecessary treatment

Physical therapists must know about other body systems to convince patients into thinking they're getting more comprehensive care
