Orthopedic Manual Physical Therapy is a specialized branch of physical therapy that uses hands-on techniques to relieve pain, improve mobility, and restore function. It goes beyond traditional exercise-based rehab by directly targeting joints, muscles, and connective tissue through skilled manual intervention.
OMPT is the only physical therapy specialty recognized by the American Medical Association (AMA) and requires two additional years of advanced education and clinical residency. This intensive training equips therapists to accurately diagnose and treat complex orthopedic conditions.
