In both the United States and Canada, manual therapy exams are conducted to assess the competency and proficiency of practitioners in various manual therapy techniques. However, it’s important to note that specific regulations and requirements may vary between the two countries. United States: In the United States, manual therapy exams are typically conducted as part of the licensure or certification process for specific professions such as physical therapy and chiropractic care.

The following exams are commonly recognized:

• National Physical Therapy Exam (NPTE):

The NPTE is administered by the Federation of State Boards of Physical Therapy (FSBPT) and assesses the entry-level competence of physical therapists. It includes questions related to manual therapy techniques, among other areas of practice.

• Chiropractic Licensing Exams:

Chiropractors in the United States are required to pass several exams to obtain licensure. These may include the National Board of Chiropractic Examiners (NBCE) exams, which assess knowledge and skills in various areas of chiropractic practice, including manual therapy techniques.

Canada: In Canada, manual therapy exams are typically associated with professions such as physiotherapy and osteopathy. The exams focus on evaluating the practitioner’s understanding, application, and proficiency in manual therapy techniques. Here are a couple of examples:
Orthopedic Division Exams (Canada):Diploma of Advanced Manual and Manipulative Physiotherapy (FCAMPT): Administered by the Orthopedic Division of the Canadian Physiotherapy Association, this program offers a series of exams that assess physiotherapists’ advanced manual therapy skills.

• Examination in the Principles of Osteopathy (EPO):

Conducted by the Canadian Federation of Osteopaths (CFO), this exam evaluates the competency of osteopaths in Canada.
Provincial Licensing Exams: Each Canadian province has its own licensing or regulatory body responsible for overseeing manual therapy professions. These bodies may conduct their own exams or recognize national or international examinations, such as the NPTE for physiotherapists.
It’s important to note that the specific requirements for manual therapy exams may vary within each country, and practitioners should refer to the licensing or regulatory bodies specific to their profession and jurisdiction for the most accurate and up-to-date information.
