A physical therapy or palpation evaluation or diagnosis device, system, and method for evaluating the condition of a patient's body, for example, the spine and/or soft tissue. The physical therapist currently uses palpation to subjectively evaluate the condition of the spine, soft tissue and/or muscle of the patient. The physical therapist assigns a subjective score (from 0-10) based on the stiffness and/or mobility of the vertebrae. If a different physical therapist examines the same patient later in the treatment process, the subjective evaluation from the prior therapist would be difficult to interpret.
