Manual Osteopathy
Manual Osteopathic Practitioners, or MOPs, are healthcare professionals who utilize hands-on, manual techniques to diagnose and treat musculoskeletal and related conditions. They focus on restoring the body’s natural ability to heal itself by addressing imbalances and restrictions in the musculoskeletal system and other body systems. MOPs are trained in various manual techniques, including stretching, myofascial release, muscle energy technique, balanced ligamentous tension, joint mobilization, osteo-articulation, positional release, strain-counter strain, craniosacral therapy, soft tissue release and visceral manipulation to improve tissue mobility, reduce pain, and promote proper function. Key aspects of Osteopathic Manual Practitioners: Holistic Approach: OMPs view the body as an integrated whole, considering the interconnectedness of its structures and systems. Manual Therapy: They primarily use hands-on techniques to assess and treat the body, without relying on drugs or surgery. Focus on Function: MOPs aim to restore optimal function in the body by addressing underlying imbalances and restrictions. Specialized Training: MOPs undergo extensive training, including supervised clinical hours, to develop a refined sense of touch and expertise in manual assessment and treatment.
