Physical Therapists and Osteopathic Manual Therapy

Physical therapists, also known as Physiotherapists, can learn and practice osteopathic manual therapy (OMT) by gaining the necessary knowledge and skills through specialized training and continuing education in order to enhance their practice.

Physical therapists who wish to integrate Osteopathic Manual Therapy into their practice are drawn by Osteopathy's holistic approach, considering the interconnectedness of the body's structure and function.  All our our accredited and pending accreditation courses fall within the scope of practice for Physical Therapists in the USA and Physiotherapists in Canada.

We offer occasional continuing education courses at our training centers in Toronto and Montreal dased on demand, as well as full length online version of these courses. All of our full length online courses have a hands-on practice component often comprising up to half of the total course hours, and a homework evaluation process with the Instructor that fosters excellence and perfection of knowledge and skills.  Each online course contains audio lessons with on screen text as well as demonstration videos of assessment and treatment protocols.  

If you have an interest in Women's Health, Cranial Osteopathy or Visceral Osteopathy, we have a course for you!
