Orthopedic Residency

Program Overview
Agile Physical Therapy is proud to offer the longest running orthopaedic physical therapy residency in the San Francisco Bay Area. Agile has been offering specialty training in orthopaedics since 2010.

Our curriculum is designed to develop highly skilled, critically thinking, evidence-based clinicians. This includes robust classroom and didactic instruction in collaboration with the University of Southern California. Our residents hone their skills with regular labs and continued learning through special topic lectures and journal clubs throughout the year. The hallmark of our program is the mentorship which happens both formally and informally as our residents practice alongside their mentors as well as over 30 residency or fellowship trained colleagues.

Orthopedic Manual Therapy Fellowship

The clinical and didactic education corresponds with the requirements set forth by the American Academy of Orthopaedic Manual Physical Therapists (AAOMPT). This fellowship program utilizes a broad ­based, eclectic curriculum that aims to provide graduates with the ability to apply advanced orthopaedic manual therapy techniques combined with advanced skills in movement analysis, motor control, and biomechanics to the injured population. In addition, the program provides training on mentoring so as to develop graduates with the ability to train at a post-professional residency and fellowship level.

Methods of Instruction
The program utilizes several methods of instruction. The fellow will attend modules at the University of Southern California for didactic and laboratory instruction. A clinical faculty member provides accompanying lab instructions throughout the course of the fellowship. The fellow will receive further didactic study though independent study courses via an online platform. In addition to the various forms of didactic and laboratory education, the fellow will also receive direct supervision during patient care hours and interactions with a clinical faculty member.
