FIRST IN HISTORY!

American Association of Osteopathic Manual Practitioners (AAOMP)
Council on Osteopathic Manual Practice Education (USA) (COMPE)
American Osteopathic Manual Practice Examining Board (AOMPEB)

Osteopathic manual practitioner, Curtis M Wildes, PES, CSCS, MBA, MSATC, COMP is the first president of the newly formed American Association of Osteopathic Manual Practitioners (AAOMP). This is the first time in history our profession now has an association in the states.

AAOMP is affiliated with the International Osteopathic Association (IOA) and follows its mandate and policies. AAOMP will also have two other affiliated organizations, the Council on Osteopathic Manual Practice Education (USA) which will be in charge of accrediting schools offering osteopathic manual practice education in US and the American Osteopathic Manual Practice Examining Board which will be in charge of administering board exams for license purposes.

Mr. Wildes is a graduate of the National University of Medical Sciences (Spain) as well a member of the Osteopathy Chronic Pain Clinics of Canada in Las Vegas, Nevada (USA).

In the States the term osteopathic manual practice is used instead of osteopathy as not to confuse the American public there as they generally associate osteopathy with osteopathic physicians who work as medical doctors.

AAOMP website will be set up soon.

What is OMP?

Image
Osteopathic manual practice (also known as osteopathy, manual osteopathy or European style osteopathy outside the US) is a health profession that offers patient-centred whole body approaches to healthcare for functional improvement and pain relief. OMP recognises the vital link between the structure of the body and the way it functions. Osteopathic manual practitioners (OMPs) focus on how the skeleton, joints, muscles, nerves, circulation, connective tissue and internal organs function as a holistic unit.  Osteopathy in US (also known as osteopathic medicine or American style osteopathy) was founded in 1874 by Dr. Andrew Taylor Still.
