OMT focuses on “mechanical pain,” which refers to pain caused by misalignments or structural imbalances of muscles, tendons, joints, ligaments, or bones. OMT treatments involve osteopathic doctors applying gentle pressure to the patient’s body to manipulate muscles, soft tissues, and joints.
There are more than 40 OMT techniques, and they can involve the patient sitting, standing, or lying down. The treatments will include various muscle groups, bones, and tendons being manipulated and moved in certain ways to promote proper form, blood circulation, and nervous system alignment.
Some confuse OMT for chiropractic care. OMT accomplishes different goals, approaching healing with gentle movement of joints, muscles, and tendons via stretching, resistance, and gentle pressure. On the other hand, chiropractic care uses force, leverage, direction, amplitude, and velocity directed at specific joints and regions to accomplish its treatment goals.
Your osteopathic manual therapy session at Bod Medical begins with a comprehensive evaluation. The practitioner will discuss your symptoms, medical history, and specific concerns to understand your needs. This assessment helps tailor the treatment to address your unique musculoskeletal imbalances and health goals.
During the treatment, your provider uses gentle, hands-on techniques to manipulate muscles, joints, and soft tissues. These techniques are designed to relieve tension, restore mobility, and improve circulation throughout the body. You may be asked to change positions or perform small movements to enhance the effectiveness of the therapy.
Your comfort is always a priority during osteopathic manual therapy. The practitioner will check in with you regularly, adjusting pressure and techniques based on your feedback. Open communication ensures a safe, personalized experience that supports your healing process.
After your session, the practitioner may offer guidance on stretches, posture, or activities to support your recovery. You might experience mild soreness, which typically fades quickly as your body adjusts. Follow-up appointments and at-home advice help you maintain the benefits of osteopathic manual therapy.
