American Academy of Orthopaedic Manual Physical Therapists

If you are looking for a physical therapist with a strong orthopedic background, the American Academy of Orthopaedic Manual Physical Therapists is a good place to start. Note the “find a doc function” for members and fellows. A fellowship is designed for the graduate of a residency or board-certified therapist to focus on a subspecialty area of clinical practice, education, or research, so fellows are highly trained and typically have a strong focus on manual therapy and rehabilitation, rather than “bells and blinkers” therapy, such as ultrasound.
