Osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT) is a hands-on approach used by osteopathic physicians to diagnose and treat various medical conditions. It involves using the hands to move muscles and joints, aiming to relieve pain, improve mobility, and promote overall health. OMT can be beneficial for a range of issues, including back pain, headaches, and sports injuries. The techniques used in OMT may include stretching, gentle pressure, and resisted movements. This treatment is based on the principle that the body has an inherent ability to heal itself, and OMT helps facilitate this process by enhancing the body's structural and functional balance.
