What is Osteopathic Manupulative Treatment (OMT)?
OMT is the therapeutic application of manual techniques by an osteopathic physician to address the changes in body structure to improve physiologic function.
OMT techniques range from gentle palpation to high-pressure or rapid, forceful manipulation.
Who can benefit from OMT?
People of all ages, from newborns to senior adults, can benefit from osteopathic manipulative treatment.
