 The International Maitland Teachers’ Association (IMTA)
welcomes you to the IMTA’s Teachers’ Training!
IMTA offers a training system to qualify physiotherapists to
teach courses in manipulative physiotherapy based on the
principles of the Maitland-Concept®.
Next to the course system in advanced manipulative
physiotherapy leading to OMT-qualification in various
countries, this special training links advanced manual
physiotherapy skills with educational elements to facilitate
the acquisition of the necessary skills for clinical
educators to lead postgraduate training.
The downloadable Curriculum and Syllabus on the right
provides with the necessary information which you need when
following this training.
We hope we have provided you with a overview of this
educational programme and have awakened your interest.
For further information, please do not hesitate to contact
IMTA’s Assistants’ Coordinators or members of the IMTA
Board.
Interested physiotherapists may apply to enter the IMTA Teacher
Training Program after successfully completing an IMTA Level 3
course. Physiotherapists who have completed an equivalent
postgraduate training in manual therapy with another institute
may also, in principle, apply to enter the program.
The
teachers training program takes place over a minimum of 7 years.
It consists of a minimum of 22 weeks course assistance on IMTA
courses and a training in teaching methods and didactics.
After
attaining an IFOMT
recognised OMT qualification and successfully
completing the IMTA's teacher training program the
applicant can be admitted to the final qualifying examination.
This 3 day examination consists of written papers, patient
treatments, a lecture and a comprehensive techniques
examination.
In addition to
teaching on a regular basis, all IMTA Assistants and IMTA
Teachers are obliged to practise clinically for at least 600
hours a year using the concept.
Through its
quality assurance program IMTA ensures that all Teachers
continually pursue their own further education in order to
maintain the high quality of the education offered.
