About Erl Pettman
After 50 years of treating patients, Erl finally decided to retire from clinical practise in 2019.
He has taught Orthopaedic Manual Therapy, nationally and internationally for 47 years and continues to do so through his new Institute, ASPIRE OMT.
“Empowering physical therapists, through clinical reasoning, bio-mechanical assessments, and specific techniques, to treat each patient as a whole. While, at the same time, conducting ourselves with empathy, compassion, and respect… above all else”
