What is a Maitland Physiotherapist?

What does it mean if a physiotherapist has undergone Maitland training with the International Maitland Teachers Association (IMTA)?
 
The IMTA run a series of post-graduate courses for qualified physiotherapists. 

Geoff Maitland was a physiotherapist who, over many years, developed a system for assessing and treating patients. 

The core values of this dynamic concept lay in a detailed examination of the patients problem and the manifestation of this in the  individual's life. 

The detail of the examination allows the physiotherapist to be able to make sense of the patient's problem in terms of the tissues and processes at fault. 

Very specific treatment techniques can be implemented to restore normal, pain-free movement and function.
