DCR (Non-matriculating) Courses
Dialogues in Contemporary Rehabilitation has been providing education and training in Integrative Manual Therapy for over a decade. DCR provides the actual classes offered in conjunction with various education programs of the International College of Integrative Manual Therapy. DCR's instructors are all highly advanced, active IMT practitioners and classes are constantly taught around the world.
DCR makes it possible to take individual classes in the various aspects of
Integrative Manual Therapy. (Note that some classes have prerequisites.) All
non-matriculating students, who
enroll in individual DCR classes, can easily enroll to become students of
the Connecticut School of Integrative Manual Therapy. Students can grow into
a diploma, certification or degreed program if and when they choose.
Historical Acknowledgement
DCR is the learning, resource and research entity for Integrative Manual Therapy, The Integrated Systems Approach, Integrative Diagnostics, and Functional and Structural Rehabilitation. DCR was founded in the early 1980's by Mary Fiorentino, O.T., a recognized expert in the field of pediatric neuro-rehabilitation. We thank Mary for her foresight and wisdom. She passed on the responsibility for the continuing development of DCR to Sharon Weiselfish-Giammatteo, Ph.D., P.T. in 1986.
Faculty of DCR are trained in all areas of manual therapy and are experts in the fields of orthopedics and sports medicine, chronic pain, neuro-rehabilitation, pediatrics, geriatrics, women's and men's health issues, cardiopulmonary rehabilitation and more. Almost all of the information and techniques presented at DCR courses have been developed at Regional Physical Therapy in Connecticut, CenterIMT's flagship location. Today DCR is trans-disciplinary, including faculty and participants: allopathic and osteopathic and chiropractic physicians; dentists; physical and occupational therapists; speech pathologists; psycotherapists, psychologists, social workers, counselors and teachers; massage therapists and body workers and more.
