We are supremely confident that our course instruction will provide the verbal, visual, and tactile education to allow the participant to develop competence (and eventual mastery) of thrust joint manipulation. We believe this so strongly that we would like to put the minds of potential participants at ease with regards to their investment. Therefore, IMMT

We actually demonstrate that the current research literature favors cavitation, to say nothing of the importance that patients ascribe to it.

However, it would be incorrect for anyone to say that technique can magically make up for a lack of strength. Great manipulative technique incorporates the proper application of power (strength x speed) to achieve joint
Although it is recommended to take the courses in sequential order, this is not mandatory. The only exception is that TJM Part 4 must be taken after successful completion of the other three courses. However, a course participant wishing to take Parts 2 or 3 before Part 1 must enroll for Part 1 concurrently. Contact
Absolutely. In fact, IMMT has been invited to the country of India in September of 2020 to teach Parts 1-3 of its thrust joint manipulation curriculum.
