The IAMMM (International Academy of Manual/Musculoskeletal Medicine) is an international organization of individual members and has the main aim to make Manual/Musculoskeletal Medicine a scientifically and evidence-based medical discipline.

Manual/Musculoskeletal (synonymous to Manual Medicine and Musculoskeletal Medicine) is an additional competence recognized by the EUROPEAN UNION OF MEDICAL SPECIALISTS and as such a medical discipline of enhanced knowledge and skills in the diagnosis, therapy and prevention of functional reversible disorders of the locomotor system. Diagnostic skills build on conventional evidence-based medical techniques with manual assessment of individual tissues and functional assessment of the whole system, based on scientific biomechanical and neurophysiologic principles. Therapeutic skills add manual/manipulative techniques and advanced interventional techniques to conventional treatments for the reduction of pain or other treatment outcomes.

The IAMMM consists of individual members that are university-based and/or professionals with documented interests and experience as a scientist and/or educationalist in the broad field of manual/musculoskeletal medicine or related medical and premedical disciplines.
