Integrative Manual Therapy (IMT), developed over the last 30 years, has helped people recover from Autism, Crohns disease, Visual dysfunctions, Spinal Cord Injuries, Chronic Fatigue, Back Pain, Traumatic Brain Injuries and significantly increased quality of life for thousands of people.
Still, so common is the question…..Why havent I ever of Integrative Manual Therapy?
This despite the fact that an internet search for the phrase Integrative Manual Therapy turns up over 20,000 sites and references. A search on Sharon Weiselfish-Giammatteo, the developer of Integrative Manual Therapy turns up several thousand references. Dr. Giammatteo and IMT are mentioned in Wikipedia. Many of the sites refer to clinical books and easy to use self-care books, written by Sharon W. Giammatteo, PT, PhD for therapists and the general public.
Kimberly Burnham, PhD, MT, IMTC is launching a service to increase the visibility of Integrative Manual Therapy and increase the quality of life of so many more people.
