Orthopaedic manual physical therapy will be the accepted, evidence-based musculoskeletal clinical practice in the United States, whereby Fellows of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Manual Physical Therapists are recognized by the public as specialists in Orthopaedic Manual Physical Therapy.

Fellowship education will be the primary means for achieving advanced skills in orthopaedic manual physical therapy, based on a foundation of orthopaedic manual physical therapy education provided in the professional physical therapy curriculum and which may be gained through Orthopaedic Residencies.
