"Safe and efficient manual therapy assessments and interventions based on sound clinical reasoning, current evidence, and anatomy and physiology are taught in a comfortable setting with time for hands-on learning and feedback."

“The transitional zone”: Watch NAIOMT teaching faculty Michael Lucido demonstrate the examination and treatment of the thoracolumbar junction. This technique is taught in NAIOMT’s course C-613 Thoracic Spine.
The next course scheduled for Kalispell, MT is C-613 "Virtual" Thoracic Spine on December 12-13. The course will be taught online by NAIOMT teaching faculty Bill Temes.
NAIOMT has made the decision to move all courses online for the remainder of 2020 and the period January to March 2021. Please note, this is not an irrevocable decision; we'll review the situation in mid-January. If things are better then, we'll be more than willing to make changes. However, at this point, it is critical that we provide our students, faculty, and course sites with certainty, and this decision allows us to achieve that in the safest manner possible, while also not compromising our effectiveness in the classroom.
