Certified functional manual therapist

Certified Functional Manual Therapy™ (CFMT) Becoming a Certified Functional Manual Therapist by the Institute of Physical Art signifies that a therapist is exceptionally adept and has mastered Functional Manual Therapy®. Across the entire world, there are CFMTs and two of them are on staff at Fort Worth Physical Therapy. All of our physical therapists have earned the designation Certified in Functional Manual Therapy® (CFMT), meaning they’ve mastered hours of post-doctoral material. To accomplish this, they often take the courses two to three times, dedicating more than hours to the hands-on, lab-intensive content. The CFMT review/certification is conducted over a six-day period. Monday through Thursday are dedicated to review, with a half-day allotted to each of the eight required courses. These review sessions will highlight the key concepts of each course and allow for specific lab practice of many of the techniques.

Certified Manual Therapy is a specialized treatment that consists of “hands-on” techniques used to mobilize muscles, joints, connective tissue and nerves to facilitate healing and restore function.
