Osteopathic Manual Treatment

Osteopathic Manual Treatment (OMT) is a precise manual therapy practice which employs gentle manipulations to treat the body.

​

Whether you are looking for help with recovery from an injury, chronic pain, the effects of stress, or simply maintaining good health, OMT provides a safe and effective extended medical therapy option.

​

Is OMT like Chiropractic?

 

An Osteopathic Manual Practitioner (OMP) is instructed in the safe application of impulse adjustments which are similar to traditional Chiropractic adjustments.

​

This is only one of many treatment approaches a properly educated OMP is trained in, so it is used when it is required, when it is safe, and when consent is provided.

​

Is OMT like massage?

​

An OMP and RMT both address the soft connective tissue of the body but the OMP's approach is different than traditional massage therapy.

​

An OMP will use gentle sustained compression or distraction of to achieve changes in tissue length, or tone.

​

Is it safe to use OMT with other manual therapies?

​

Yes indeed it is. ​

Chiropractic, Massage and Physiotherapy are all very complimentary with OMT.

OMT can be a great addition to your current wellness team.
