The North American Institute of Orthopedic Manual Therapy, Inc. (NAIOMT) is a private physical therapist-owned organization dedicated to achieving the highest standards of clinical practice for manual physical therapists.
NAIOMT specializes in a flexible teaching program, which seeks to promote the utilization of safe, effective and efficient manual physical therapy management of musculoskeletal dysfunction. It further seeks an environment that is conducive to the application of a reasoned approach to manual physical therapy through critical inquiry and the creation of new knowledge and skills based on scientific study and dissemination of that knowledge.
NAIOMT strongly supports the union of the clinician, academician and researcher to further facilitate the development of quality patient care, physical therapy education and the development of master clinicians.
"Bill, Thank you for the truly amazing cohort put together this last year; you and Steve have been great motivators and challengers for my progression in this profession. I really like the approach of NAIOMT and how it makes the 'scary things' (i.e. cervical manipulations) safe and gives me confidence in performing them! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT!"
