History[edit]
In 1974, at the World Congress of Physiotherapy in Montreal[2], the Canadian Physiotherapy Association (CPA) voted to allow the formation of the Orthopaedic Division; a subgroup with a special interest in orthopaedic physiotherapy. NOD was founded to help physiotherapists and members with their professional development, through evidenced-informed curriculum, access to information on best practices, and opportunities to collaborate and learn from peers.[1] The OD education system have been an associate member of the International Federation of Orthopaedic Manipulative Physical Therapists (IFOMPT) since 1978, and fully accredited since 1984[3].
