Center Activity
What is Manual Therapy' Manual Therapy is a collection of specialized techniques used by therapists to help muscles relax, decrease pain and restore normal movement to joints. These techniques, which include joint mobilization and soft tissue techniques, are usually performed in conjunction with exercises and have been shown to be one of the most effective types of treatment available for multiple conditions. Our therapists decide which techniques are best suited for each patient after performing a thorough evaluation and discussing treatment goals. The Ola Grimsby Institute (OGI) is known for its world-renowned education programs in manual therapy. The uniqueness of the OGI programs lies in the combination of an evidence based patient management approach, with advanced, hands-on training and the instructor's dedication to the success and the health of patients. Thomas (TJ) Stites, P.T., COMT, has completed the extensive Clinical Certification Program for Manual Therapy. The program consists of a series of courses taught over 10 months. The program consists of 131 instructional hours, featuring 50% didactic instruction and 50% lab experience. Written and practical exams are conducted on the final weekend of the program. Through the successful completion of this rigorous program, TJ earned his Certification in Orthopedic Manual Therapy (COMT) credentials.
