The Institute of
Orthopaedic Manual Therapy (IOMT), established in 1991, offers a part-time
fellowship program in the Norwegian Approach for the practicing physical
therapist who wants comprehensive training in orthopaedic manual therapy
without committing to a full-time educational program. The Norwegian
Approach emphasizes hands-on manual therapy, medical exercise therapy
techniques and patient education/self-management.
Located in Woburn,
Massachusetts, the IOMT is affiliated with Orthopaedics Plus, which
operates four physical therapy clinics in the Boston area.
The IOMT is credentialed
by the American Physical Therapy Association (APTA)
as a post-professional clinical fellowship program for physical therapists
in orthopaedic manual physical therapy. In addition, it is one of
only eleven such programs in the US recognized by the American Academy
of Orthopaedic Manual Physical Therapists (AAOMPT). The IOMT is affiliated
with Boston University and Massachusetts General Hospital.
