omt could also be refeared to "orthopaedic manipulative therapy", that is a specialization of physical therapists. In europe ostheopaty is not a medical profession, so a DO is'nt a physician but it's a different profession, like physical therapist, nurse, dentist, occupational therapist ecc. ecc.

@LegPains OMT is Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment (or Technique) depends on who you ask and in what context.

@LegPains I would not under any circumsatance have a chiropractor work on you...stay waya from 'em
Hah! If you only knew...I've been working alongside allopathic medical students, and they are in awe of osteopathic medicine. They have seen the efficacy of osteopathic manipulative medicine (OMM) and always consult me whenever any patients present with musculoskeletal complaints. They are always asking me to teach them OMM. Many of them wish they had gone to an osteopathic school.

I knw but when he is recovering in his room I believe daily OMT would be of tremendous benefit. Despite the fact that I feel it impacts health greatly people in the hospital are in a foreign enviornment and sometimes scared and weirded out by the whole process. Some hands on OMT can help keep the human connection established. At least that is how I would try and do it if I was a DO. If I was a patient in a DO hospital I would ask for it.
