Walt has been a physical therapist since 1985 and has integrated manual therapy into that model ever since 1992. He trained with many traditional tissue-based instructors, including myofascial release and craniosacral therapy, but became dissatisfied with the narratives used to describe the work and effects and began to move into a more biologically plausible explanation. While continuing to use a hands-on approach that visibly resembles those earlier models, he has neutralized the implied message by now referring to the work he uses and teaches as &quot;manual therapy.&quot; Building on concepts firmly grounded in the biopsychosocial model, as well as the possibly undervalued third leg of the evidence-based practice model (patient preferences and values), his model of intervention and professional education stresses a patient-led experience. He believes that manual therapy need not be a passive modality, one that fosters patient dependency, but a subset of therapeutic intervention that reduces fear of movement and encourages self-efficacy, one well-grounded in evidence-based practice.
