Integrative Manual Therapy
Integrative Manual Therapy was developed by Sharon Weiselfish-Giammatteo, Ph.D., P.T. as the search for options. Many persons have contributed to this search;
the work of many professionals has been integrated into the dynamic process of to
morrow's answers for health care. The Integrated Systems Approach was the first part of the discovery that no one single approach is sufficient for healing. Each cell and fiber in the body has different properties, with different characteristics and re
quirements for function. Many approaches are necessary to treat the whole body, the total person. These approaches can be adapted to suit the cells and fibers of the microcosm of a system. Structural Rehabilitation is integrated into a process of Functional Rehabilitation so that the final product is OutCome for the client.
OCR Dialogues in Contemporary Rehabilitation is the learning, research and re
source center for Integrative Manual Therapy, an affiliate of Regional Physical Therapy in Connecticur. Continuing education seminars in structural and functional rehabilitation are offered throughout North America, and now Europe and Asia.
The following courses are offered and available for all health care practitioners.
