What is the Maitland® Concept?
The Maitland® Concept is a concept of manual therapy whereby dysfunction in the joints, muscles and the nervous system are assessed and treated.
The application of techniques in the Maitland® Concept is based on the Clinical Reasoning Process and the ICF (International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health).
The special characteristics of the concept include the individually adapted assessment and treatment procedures for each patient, the clinical experience of the therapists and the integration of the latest scientific findings.In addition to the passive joint mobilisation and manipulation of the extremities and the spinal column, neurodynamic techniques, muscle re-education and individually adapted home programmes are also used.
The IMTA Course System
The IMTA offers an 11-week continued education course system with a total of 440 hours.
The course system is composed of 4 modules in which physical therapists learn problem-oriented procedures for treating patients with movement dysfunctions.
In all the modules, the participants examine and treat patients under supervision.
Practical demonstrations of patient treatments are conducted by the course instructors.
The IMTA courses are a prerequisite for achieving a qualifi cation in Orthopaedic Manual Therapy (OMT) according to the guidelines of the IFOMPT (International Federation of Orthopaedic Manipulative Physiotherapists) in various European countries

EPIMORFOSIS organizes specialization seminars for rehabilitation professionals. I’ve watched a lot. I strongly recommend you trust EPIMORFOSIS for your specialization and lifelong information.
Training, a steady value for more than twenty years now, leads physiotherapy and keeps it at a very high level, well done to George Karambalis and his associates, we owe a lot to all of you.
The best physiotherapists training institution. It enables the development of the necessary knowledge for clinical reasoning. High-quality training without having to travel abroad.
My first steps in professional specialization started with EPIMORFOSIS and continue. It has been with us all these years, covering the need for modern and documented knowledge, in collaboration with internationally acclaimed educational institutions.
I have known George Karampalis and EPIMORFOSIS for many years. I’ve had the opportunity to join several clinical courses and I can argue that, at the level of organisation and selection of trainers, they have a high level of recognised prestige.
EPIMORFOSIS justifies its name by providing high quality courses. George Karampalis operates more like a constant “trainee” and less like an entrepreneur, and this is an additional positive fact in the effort that is put by the workers and teachers of EPIMORFOSIS.
