Dr. Moyo Tillery sits down with Dr. Ron Shank to explore the evolving relationship between Orthopaedic Manual Physical Therapy (OMPT) and Mechanical Diagnosis & Therapy (MDT). Drawing from decades of clinical practice, mentorship, and research, Ron reframes the debate — arguing that integration, not ideology, leads to better patient outcomes.

Together, they unpack directional preference, centralization, test–retest frameworks, patient empowerment, and the leadership principles that shape great clinicians. This is a must-listen for anyone navigating modern manual therapy practice.

Key Topics Covered:

  • Directional preference vs centralization
  • End-range testing as common ground
  • Hands-on vs hands-off decision-making
  • Patient self-efficacy and dependency
  • Mentorship, leadership, and legacy in OMPT
