T2  - Orthopaedic Manual Physical Therapy: From Art to Evidence
AB  - Orthopaedic  manual  physical  therapy  (OMPT)  has  become  recognized  by  the  profession  of  physical  therapy  as  a  premier  area  of  clinical  specialization.  Once  part  of  the  practice  of  our  founders,  it  was  shelved  during  the  rise  of  chiropractic  in  the  1930s.  Chiropractic  claims  to  prevent  and  cure  all  diseases  through  manipulation  caused  the  fledgling  physical  therapy  profession  to  nearly  cease  the  practice  of  manual  therapy.  It  survived  in  a  much  deemphasized  form  under  such  terms  as  passive  movement,  articulating,  and  mobilization.  However,  in  the  1960s,  with  the  advent  of  physical  therapists  such  as  Maitland,  McKenzie,  and  this  author,  manual  therapy  once  again  became  an  important  area  of  clinical  practice.  Today,  instruction  in  manual  therapy  is  required  within  all  first  professional  educational  programs  in  the  United  States.
