Credentials of the IOMT


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.
