There are two aspects of Phoenix Manual Therapy.  The continuing education arm and the sudy group.

The continuing education divsion has been offering orthopaedic manual therapy class work since 1985.  The calendar of classes offered is dynamic. There is every expectation that it will expand. The challenge is always balancing everyones schedules.

The study group has residents, fellow candidates and all members present inservices on various subjects of their own expertise, or case presentations.  All participants are expected to participate in the presentations.  Everyone has something to offer and is asked to do so.  New members need to be invited by a current member who is endorsing that new member  as a valuable addition to the group.
