The association aims to promote manual therapy as an important treatment method for musculoskeletal disorders. It is open to both experienced therapists and students in manual therapy and physiotherapy who wish to specialize in this field.
The members of NMF have a minimum three-year relevant university education and are publicly authorized health personnel.
