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.
