The Philosophy of the Institute

Physical Therapy is a dynamic discipline. To meet the demand for quality care in an increasingly competitive environment, clinicians will need to demonstrate strong evaluation and treatment skills.

When developing any hands-on skill or technique, it is important to have good coaching and guidance. Though academic study forms the foundation needed to build the necessary skills, theoretical learning must be coupled with extensive clinical supervision from experienced practitioners, repetition and personal feedback to ensure that manual therapy techniques and graded exercises are properly learned. The faculty at the IOMT, practicing physical therapists who have experienced a similar learning process, believe this type of commitment to students is necessary to elevate their hands-on skills to optimum levels of competency.

The Institute of Orthopaedic Manual Therapy, committed to excellence
in patient management, is dedicated to the following principles:

Helping Students develop hands-on skills in orthopaedic manual therapy and therapeutic exercise techniques through academic study, comprehensive classroom instruction and supervised patient treatment

Strengthening the student's clinical assessment/reasoning and problem solving skills

Learning and teaching new principles and techniques based on continued clinical practice and research
