Proud,

I do agree that the "fringe" techniques should not be taught in orthopedics. In school you should be taught what is well known, researched and prooven for results. There is too much to learn and often not enough time to develop good concepts completely. Possibly with the DPT that can happen.
"Fringe" therapy is for the clinician that has developed their skills and knowledge base to a level that they can critically assess these other techniques and decide with their own intellect how useful or valid it is. In time, hopefully, measureable ways of deteriming it's usefullness or why it works or doesn't can be performed. I am not an educator, but I would think one should be solid in the basics and known practices before branching out and trying other ways treating. From this perspective I don't believe anyone should believe a "guru." We must be critcal of ourselves because we all have the intellect and the ability to do that or we wouldn't have made it through PT school whenever it was or is.
