Description

The American Academy of Orthopaedic Manual Physical Therapists (AAOMPT) was founded in Rochester, Michigan. During the summer of 1991, at the urging of Norwegian manual therapist, Freddy Kaltenborn, a group of manual therapists met at Oakland University to discuss common issues facing manual therapy in the United States. This was the first time that leaders of various manual therapy residency programs had come together under one roof. Recognizing their common interest in advanced manual therapy in the United States they proceeded to form the AAOMPT. The members, Richard Erhard, PT, DC, Joe Farrell, MS, PT, Kornelia Kulig, PH.D, PT, Michael D. Rogers, PT, OCS, and Bjorn Svendsen, DHSc, PT, Stanley V. Paris PT, PhD, Ola Grimsby PT, and Micheal Moore PT became the Founding Fellows of the AAOMPT. The first officers were: President, Joe Farrell, Vice President, Richard Erhard, Secretary, Michael Moore, and Treasurer, Ola Grimsby, and Member-at-Large, Stanley Paris. Each has contributed hundreds of hours of their time to help the AAOMPT move forward. The President, Timothy Flynn PT, PhD, OCS, FAAOMPT, who is in his first year in office, currently leads the organization. The current officers are: Vice President, Robert Rowe, PT, DMT, FAAOMPT, Secretary, John S. Magel, PT, DSc, FAAOMPT, John D. Childs, PT, PhD, MBA, OCS, CSCS, FAAOMPT Treasurer, Stephania L.
