Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment (OMT) is a hands-on technique used by Osteopathic Physicians (DOs) to diagnose, treat, and prevent illness or injury. DOs are trained to address the whole person, considering the interplay between physical, mental, and emotional health.

OMT involves a variety of gentle, precise techniques to manipulate the body’s muscles, joints, and connective tissues. By addressing physical restrictions and imbalances, OMT can improve:

  • Pain relief

  • Improved neuromuscular function

  • Increased range of motion

  • Enhanced blood flow

  • Improved immune function

  • Reduced stress and anxiety

At Monterey Osteopathic and Sports Medicine our OMT treatments are tailored to each patient's specific needs, ranging from gentle, subtle techniques to more direct approaches. The effects of OMT can be long-lasting, allowing the body to continue healing and adapting.
