Manual therapy techniques play an exceptional role in the treatment of relevant illnesses due to their economy and their efficiency, which can often be observed very quickly.

​

The Austrian Medical Society for Manual Medicine (ÖÄGMM) strives to teach in its courses the knowledge content that is not sufficiently conveyed in studies and training at hospitals and clinics, so that this knowledge can be successfully applied to patients.
