The above photo represents the core faculty for the OGI throughout the 1980s, and the foundational faculty for the first Orthopedic Manual therapy residency program in Seattle. The 3 owners of MTI completed this 2-year program in 19910, taking an additional 2-year program that exceeded the current Fellowship level of training. MTI is forever grateful to these individuals for their contributions to our education, clinical training and current programs.
