"Osteopathic manual therapy focuses on the assessment and treatment of disorders of the body’s structure, whether it is related to the pelvis, peripheral joints, visceral organs, nervous systems, venous system or spine. Osteopathic manual therapists use manipulations to the joints or organs and gentle oscillatory movements to correct biomechanical dysfunctions that are related to neuromusculoskeletal complaints. In addition to this, they provide advices regarding exercises, diet and lifestyle to augment the bodies own healing capabilities. By restoring proper mechanics to an area, the osteopathic manual therapist allows the normal flow of fluids and improves function which will help reduce pain and regain normal activity."
