What is Orthopedic Massage Therapy?
Orthopedic Massage Therapy, or OMT, is a set of hands-on techniques used to diagnose, treat, and prevent injury. Using OMT, a Muscular Therapist moves a patient’s muscles and joints using techniques that include direct tissue manipulation, stretching, gentle pressure and neuromuscular techniques.
This special training confers on the practitioner an in-depth understanding of the musculoskeletal system, the body’s intricate system of muscles, nerves and bones, targeting the specific area of injury area, grounded in the interconnection of the body’s systems.
Benefits of OMT
OMT eases pain, promotes healing and increases overall mobility. It treats structural and tissue abnormalities, relieves joint restriction and misalignment, restores muscle and tissue balance, and promotes healthy circulation throughout the body.
