The purposes of this study were: to determine the prevalence and impact of WRMD among Israeli PTs; to investigate WRMD risk factors and to identify preventive strategies used by PTs; and to compare the risk of injuries in two professional settings: rehabilitation centres (RCs) and outpatient clinics (OPCs).\u2002\n                    <jats:bold>Method<\/jats:bold>\n                    .\u2002A validated, modified Cromie questionnaire, translated into Hebrew, was distributed to the PTs at their workplaces. The relationship between WRMD symptoms and professional settings was analysed by Pearson chi\u2010square. The risk models were developed by logistic regression. One hundred and twelve PTs working in OPCs and RCs who defined themselves as healthy individuals were the subjects of this study.\u2002\n                    <jats:bold>Results<\/jats:bold>\n                    .\u2002Lifetime prevalence of WRMD was 83%. The highest prevalence of WRMD was in the lower back area (80%). Rehabilitation treatment was associated with an increased risk of lower back (odds ratio [OR] = 1.05) and shoulder symptoms (OR = 1.04); manual treatment was associated with an increased risk of wrist\/thumb symptoms (OR = 1.11).\u2002\n                    <jats:bold>Discussion<\/jats:bold>\n                    .\u2002Work in RCs was associated with an increased prevalence of lower back\/shoulder symptoms, whereas work in OPCs was associated with an increased prevalence of thumb\/wrist symptoms. PT's used different strategies to reduce risk of WRMD, including altering practice technique. The respondents recommended administrative and ergonomic changes in the workplace.\u2002\n                    <jats:bold>Conclusion<\/jats:bold>\n                    .\u2002Workplace\u2010specific interventions to reduce WRMD in PTs should be developed and tested in future studies.
