Osteopathic manual therapy (OMT) is a hands-on treatment used by Doctors of Osteopathic Medicine (DOs) to diagnose, treat, and support the body's natural ability to heal itself. It involves using various techniques to move a patient's muscles and joints to relieve pain, improve mobility, and support overall body function, and can be used to treat a wide range of conditions like headaches, sports injuries, and back pain.
What OMT involves
A hands-on approach: DOs use their hands to apply pressure, stretch muscles and joints, and diagnose illness or injury.
A focus on the whole body: OMT is based on the principle that all of the body's systems are interconnected, and a DO will consider how the musculoskeletal system affects overall health.
Specific techniques: A variety of techniques may be used, including:
Myofascial release: A form of massage to release pain in the connective tissue.
Muscle energy techniques: The patient pushes against the doctor's resistance to stretch muscles.
Soft tissue techniques: Gentle or deeper strokes, kneading, and pressure on soft tissues.
Counterstrain: Gently moving a painful or spasming muscle to a more comfortable position.
Spinal mobilization: Applying pressure to the spine to increase range of motion.
Part of comprehensive care: OMT can complement other medical treatments and is often used in conjunction with them, or in some cases, as an alternative to drugs or surgery.
