A short course of manual therapy in the United States

Abstract

This is a report of a short course of manual therapy I attended at the Institute of Physical Art (IPA) in the United States. The IPA concept is an integrated and artistic intervention which couples mechanical treatment of the joints, soft tissues, visceral and neurovascular systems with manual neuromuscular facilitation to enhance optimum motor control and human function. This article introduces the features of the IPA courses and my experience of the courses.
