Finnish Association of Orthopaedic Manual Therapy
Finnish Association of Orthopaedic Manual Therapy (Suomen Ortopedisen Manuaalisen terapian Yhdistys, SOMTY) has promoted and supported Orthopaedic Manual Therapy since 1969. The association aims to raise standards of education and practice in the field of Neuromusculoskeletal Physical Therapy, and to facilitate communication and information exchange within the field internationally and with other health professions and the general public. Finnish Association of Orthopaedic Manual Therapy also provides courses and education on Neuromusculoskeletal Physical Therapy, varying from one day courses to post-graduation specialisation program of 2,5 years.
Neuromusculoskeletal Physical Therapy is a specialised area of physiotherapy that focuses on evaluation of physical performance and management and prevention of neuromusculoskeletal conditions while encompassing the biopsychosocial framework of each individual patient. It’s based on clinical reasoning, using patient education and highly specific treatment approaches including manual techniques and therapeutic exercises.
