OMT-Physiotherapy
What is OMT Physiotherapy?
Orthopedic Manual Therapy, or OMT Physiotherapy, is a specialized field of physiotherapy that focuses on the assessment of a person’s physical function, examination and therapy of nerve, muscle, and joint structures, as well as the prevention of functional disorders and pain conditions. An OMT Physiotherapist is a professional specialized in the treatment of musculoskeletal problems and diseases. They are also a valuable resource in the treatment of more demanding musculoskeletal conditions.
OMT Physiotherapy is based on a thorough examination of the patient and clinical reasoning. Treatment methods often include manual techniques and therapeutic exercises. Through proper guidance and self-directed exercises, the aim is to treat and prevent musculoskeletal problems. Additionally, individual psychosocial and environmental factors are taken into consideration during examination and therapy.
The continuous assessment and development of orthopedic manual therapy are based on the latest scientific knowledge and strong clinical evidence.
