關於專業組
國際骨科矯正物理治療師聯合會（IFOMPT）的目的是促進和維持手動/肌肉骨骼物理治療師的高水平的專科教育和臨床實踐。
The group promotes and facilitates evidence-based practice and research amongst its members and communicates widely the purpose and level of the specialisation of manual/musculoskeletal physiotherapists among physiotherapists, other healthcare disciplines and the general public.
They work towards international conformity of educational standards of practice among manual/musculoskeletal physiotherapists and communicate and collaborate effectively with individuals within the organisation, and with other organisations.
IFOMPT的願景是：
- 在全球範圍內促進針對手動/肌肉骨骼物理治療師的臨床和學術標準的卓越和統一
- 響應所有手動/肌肉骨骼物理治療師的信息需求
- fostering, co-ordinating and promoting the specialisation of manual/musculoskeletal physiotherapy
IFOMPT網站 正在不斷開發，以幫助成員及時了解最新的國際研究，並很快將有關於國際手動療法問題的討論論壇。
The standards committee has now monitored five countries as part of its international monitoring, implemented to ensure countries continue to meet the manual physiotherapy educational standards. The committee is also working towards developing a glossary of terms in manual physiotherapy, and guidelines for neurovascular screening prior to treating the cervical spine.
IFOMPT正在建立一個教育委員會，以發展北美和南美的手動療法實踐和基礎設施。 對於歐洲人來說，這對於骨科手動治療小組交流和分享知識與友誼非常有價值。
