Maitland-Australian Physiotherapy Seminars (MAPS)

Mission:
MAPS’s mission is to provide a comprehensive continuum of hands-on continuing education courses to train participants in the Maitland-Australian approach, through lecture and laboratory sessions with directly supervised Instructor feedback on clinical reasoning and psychomotor technique performance. The curriculum focuses on Orthopedic Manual Therapy and the Maitland-Australian approach, with the goal of training participants in manual therapy clinical skills, based upon the principles of assessment and treatment first described by Geoffrey D. Maitland, and further developed by numerous other world-renowned Manual Physiotherapists*. Maitland’s underlying principle of empathetically understanding the effect disorders have upon the patient is a key component of the MAPS philosophy.
