    Uploaded by

    Jeremy
    This document provides an introduction to osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT). It discusses who receives OMT for somatic dysfunction, the goals of treatment, and the osteopathic tradition. It describes the basics of palpation and various techniques used in OMT like soft tissue work, muscle energy, myofascial release, and cranial osteopathy. It outlines the OMT lab process and how OMT can be incorporated into a full osteopathic treatment plan.

    Beyond OMM Lab


    OMT:
    Who gets it?
    Impaired or altered function
    of the somatic (body
    framework) system
    including skeletal,
    Somatic arthrodial and myofascial
    structures and related
    Dysfunction vascular, lymphatic and
    neural elements.

    Having somatic dysfunction


    is an indication for OMM
    Thinking
    Lymphatics
    “We strike at the
    source of life and
    death when we go to
    the lymphatics.”
    AT Still, Philosophy of Osteopathy
    ● Relief of pain and reduction of other symptoms
    ● Improvement of function
    ● Increased functional movement
    ● Improved blood supply and nutrition to the affected areas
    Goals of OMT
    ● Sufficient return flow of fluids via the lymphatic and venous
    systems
    ● Removal of impediments to normal nerve transmission
    - Osteopathic Approach to Diagnosis and Treatment
    How do we
    want to show
    up for our
    patients?
    Our Patients
    The Osteopathic
    Tradition
    ● The brain derives much of its perception of the world through
    the activity of receptors in the skin, and particularly from the
    skin over the hands
    ● The communication developed through the physician's touch in
    Touch is the the physical and structural exam is the first step in helping the
    patient retrace the steps back to a healthy state of body and
    Foundation mind
    ● Touch is a perception that is emergent from neural activity in a
    complex network that includes the somatic sensory cortex as
    well as numerous other regions of the cerebrum
    Palpation:
    Collecting
    Sensory
    Information
    Proprioception
    ● Through the integration of multiple distributed cortical
    networks, the prefrontal cortex helps to create tactile
    memories
    ● Tactile memory is used to compare tissue feelings; from this
    memory you develop a sense of normal and abnormal tissue
    texture

    Tactile
    Memory
    ● This emotional aspect of touch gathers all past experiences—
    good or bad—to color the individual's feelings and influence
    that individual's decisions
    ● To touch another is to be touched back, in essence tactility is
    bidirectional, intimate and reciprocal
    ● The physician's and patient's boundaries are united with the
    Emotional intent to heal
    Aspects of ● The intangible emotions of physicians as they touch patients,
    encompassing their past experiences, may thus play a large role
    Touch in diagnosis and treatment
    The Techniques
    “It is a direct technique that usually involves lateral stretching, linear
    stretching, deep pressure, traction and/or separation of muscle
    origin and insertion while monitoring tissue response and motion
    changes by palpation. Also called myofascial treatment.”
    •Glossary of Osteopathic Terminology

    Soft Tissue
    Technique
    Muscle Energy is a form of OMT in
    which the patient actively uses their
    muscles on request, “from a precisely
    controlled position in a specific
    direction against a distinctly executed
    counterforce.”
    Muscle Energy
    Myofascial Release is a system of
    diagnosis and treatment first
    described by AT Still and his early
    students, which engages continual
    palpatory feedback to achieve
    release of myofascial tissues.
    Myofascial
    Release
    This is a variety of techniques
    aimed at improving the
    Lymphatic movement and drainage of
    lymphatic fluid. This includes
    Techniques pumping techniques as well as
    myofascial release to key areas
    of lymphatic congestion.
    Counterstrain is a
    passive technique in
    which a tenderpoint is
    located and the body is
    positioned in a way
    Counterstrain that greatly reduces
    tenderness and held in
    that position for 90
    seconds or until a
    release of the tissues
    occurs.
    Points and
    Positioning
    HVLA is a passive, direct
    technique which uses a
    rapid therapeutic force
    that travels a short
    distance within the
    anatomic range of motion
    High Velocity of a joint and engages the
    restrictive barrier in one
    Low or more planes of motion.

    Amplitude
    (HVLA)
    “According to
    Sutherland’s model, all
    the joints in the body
    are balanced
    ligamentous articular
    mechanisms. The
    ligaments provide
    Balanced proprioceptive
    information that guides
    Ligamentous the muscle response for
    positioning the joint,
    Tension (BLT) and the ligaments
    themselves guide the
    motion of the articular
    components.”

    Terminology)

    Looking at the

    What might
    we do for
    these patients
    with OMT?
    What about these
    guys?
    This is how
    we do it…
    ● We work on a specific technique by region
    ● You should prepare by listening to the associated self-study and
    watching all the related videos before the lab
    The OMM Lab ● You will work with each other in pairs, and your pairs will be in
    pods (8 people)
    Process ● You will receive specific instructions, demonstrations, and time
    to practice in lab
    ● You should practice regularly with your friends and family and
    in TLC or Student Run Free Clinic (SRFC)
    ● Get a history and physical exam
    ● Add an Osteopathic Structural Exam
    ● Assessment
    An ● Plan
    ● Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment that is a combination of:
    Osteopathic ● Soft Tissue
    ● Muscle Energy
    ● Myofascial Release
    Treatment ● Lymphatic Techniques
    ● Counterstrain
    ● HVLA
    ● OCMM
    ● And many more…
