OPTIM FAAOMPT Program Registration
    Disclaimer, Waiver and Conditions of Registering for courses
    INFORMED CONSENT TO PARTICIPATE IN LABORATORY SESSIONS
    Techniques of assessment are part of the instructed laboratory sessions and are not to be construed as treatment. Demonstrating an examination or treatment technique on a participant who has a pre-existing clinical problem is not defined as treatment. Faculty members are not expected to treat participants during or outside of class hours, unless arranged through the appropriate channels. No participant is compelled to perform any technique, or have any technique performed upon them, against their wishes. If you choose to participate in any of the laboratory sessions, it is important that you be aware that you are responsible for any effect of the techniques on any pre-existing conditions. If you have any questions regarding any medical condition that may preclude you from participating in part or all of the laboratory sessions, please discuss this privately with the Instructor at the beginning of the course.
     
    MANIPULATION
    The practice of manipulation is restricted to Physical Therapists in the USA. In some States the practice of manipulation is against state practice acts. In the instance that an OPTIM course, that contains manipulation techniques, is taught in a State that prohibits manipulation by Physical Therapists, you will be taught the techniques to be performed as a mobilization without thrust. To determine if you are legally allowed to perform manipulation techniques, you must check with your own State's Practice Act and practice accordingly.
     
    LIABILITY
    The host facility, OPTIM PT, and the faculty, will not be held responsible for any accidents or injury arising out of the laboratory sessions, or at any time during the seminar. By registering for an OPTIM PT course you are recognizing that you alone take full responsibility and liability for your actions and that you release OPTIM PT from any and all liability for any consequences of your participation in an OPTIM course.
