INSTRUCTOR BIO
Robert Shapiro, MA, PT, COMT, NKT, SFMA

Martin Langaas  PT, OMT, FAAOMPT

Martin is Co-Founder and Director of the Institute of Orthopaedic Manual Therapy (IOMT). He graduated in 1982 from the Physical Therapy College in Berlin, Germany, and after graduation, returned to Norway to attend the National Norwegian Fellowship Program. He trained extensively with Olaf Evjenth and Freddy Kaltenborn, the developers of the Kaltenborn/Evjenth Orthopaedic Manual Therapy System. Martin completed the Fellowship Program and obtained his OMT certification in 1989, moving shortly thereafter to the United States.

With a passion for education and teaching, Martin founded and opened the IOMT in Woburn, Massachusetts in 1991. In conjunction with Orthopaedics Plus and Winchester Hospital, Martin has been leading and teaching at the IOMT for 23 years. There have been many changes throughout the years, but bridging the gap between academics and clinical care has always been of utmost importance, and just this year, additional changes in healthcare prompted a move to a new host organization for IOMT. In 2016, IOMT joined the ProEx Physical Therapy organization where he also serves as their Co-Director of Clinical Education. Martin now operates IOMT out of the ProEx Woburn, MA location and utilizes the ProEx network for clinical sites for supervised patient care.

 

Martin also owns and operates a private practice, Langaas Spine Care, in York, ME.

 

Since 1991, Martin has lectured and presented workshops throughout the United States. In 2007, The American Academy of Orthopaedic Manual Physical Therapists (AAOMPT) presented Martin a prestigious award in recognition of Outstanding Instruction in a Post-Professional Clinical Education Fellowship Program. Martin’s goal has always been to assist developing therapists in bridging and integrating academic knowledge with daily clinical practice. Martin also owns and operates a private practice, Langaas Spine Care, in York, ME.
