| Orthopaedic Manual Therapy |
Orthopaedic Manual Therapy (OMT) is a specialization within physical therapy, based on a combination of osteopathy and chiropractics, and provides comprehensive conservative management for pain and other symptoms of neuro-musculo-articular dysfunctions in the spine and extremities.
Through meticulous physical examination ailments of posture and movement-related problems can be diagnosed andĀ improved. Therefore manual techniques and medical training advice can be applied. Orthopaedic Manual Therapy has two goals: 1) the recovery of function in the joints, 2) the improvement of posture and movement. For this purpose an Orthopaedic Manual Therapist utilizes a number of specific techniques that can be applied to these joints. Usually the effects of Orthopaedic Manual Therapy can be noticed immediately; more specifically, your range of motion will be larger and you will notice a decrease in pain. Furthermore the treatment plan of an Orthopaedic Manual Therapist consists of instructing, advising, directing his or her client and giving an insight in a healthier motion.
