What is “cultivating stupidity” in manual therapy — and why should every clinician be concerned?
In this video, we break down how modern social media culture is shaping the way manual therapy is being learned, taught, and misunderstood.
⚠️ From viral neck cracks with no context…
📣 To overconfident influencers pushing “miracle” fixes…
📉 To courses that sell certainty instead of clinical reasoning…
We’re seeing a rise in surface-level thinking that’s replacing evidence-based practice with algorithm-driven dogma.
Cultivating stupidity isn’t about calling anyone unintelligent — it’s about creating environments where critical thinking is discouraged, and performance is valued more than proof.
At OMT Training, we believe in:
✅ Evidence-backed teaching
✅ Clinical reasoning that holds up
✅ Teaching you how to think — not what to think
If you’re a physiotherapist, osteopath, chiropractor, or manual therapist of any kind — this conversation matters.
