Is orthopaedic manipulative physical therapy not fashionable anymore? Lessons learned from 2016 IFOMPT meeting and future directions Let us keep developing new learning and research venues to teach and assess the timing, dosage, benefits and cost-effectiveness of treatment strategies that merge education, OMPT and movement science. It is not one intervention but a combination of interventions that may best direct the patient towards recovery, based on the practitioner’s sound clinical reasoning and the patient’s trust in both the clinician’s skill and their own capacity to recover. This is the practice and research that JMMT wants to promote for physiotherapists in collaboration with other disciplines.
