Dr. Jason Silvernail (E-mail [jasonsilvernail@gmail.com], Website [http://www.jasonsilvernail.com/], Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/jasonsilvernail/?hl=en], TikTok [https://www.tiktok.com/@jasonsilvernail], X [https://twitter.com/jasonsilvernail?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor]) & Dr. Elaine Lonnemann (E-mail [elonnemann@usa.edu], LinkedIn [https://www.linkedin.com/in/elaine-lonnemann-20962b32], Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/elonnemann/], X [https://x.com/LonnemannElaine]) are interviewed by Dr. Skip Gill about their recent paper, “Orthopaedic Manual Physical Therapy: A Modern Definition and Description [https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38457654/].” This episode will be interesting for clinicians, researchers, and those in academia, as well as for health professionals outside of physical therapy. The topic complements our last episode in distinguishing the term “manual therapy” and “OMPT” to help define not only what we do, but how we do it in hopes to further unite our terminology and mission.  Find out more about the Foundation for Orthopaedic Manual Physical Therapy (FOMPT) and the American Academy of Orthopaedic Manual Physical Therapists (AAOMPT) at the following links: Foundation website: www.aaompt.org/foundation [http://www.aaompt.org/foundation] Academy website: www.aaompt.org [http://www.aaompt.org] Twitter: @AAOMPT [http://twitter.com/aaompt?lang=en] Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/aaompt/ [https://www.facebook.com/aaompt/] Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/officialaaompt/?hl=en [https://www.instagram.com/officialaaompt/?hl=en] Podcast e-mail: aaomptpodcast@gmail.com [aaomptpodcast@gmail.com] Podcast website:  https://aaomptpodcast.simplecast.fm [https://aaomptpodcast.simplecast.fm]
