What is a OMT manual therapy?
The Orthopaedic manual therapy (OMT) is an internationally recognised specialisation within physiotherapy.
It is based on a thorough clinical examination and the targeted treatment of complaints affecting the musculoskeletal system - i.e. joints, muscles, fasciae and nerves.
Typical is the use of:
- Joint mobilisations & manipulations
- Muscle stretches & soft tissue techniques
- Neurodynamic techniques for nerve irritation
- Posture and movement training
- Supplementary active exercises for lasting stability
Orthopaedic manual therapy (OMT) is not based on symptoms, but on their cause - always on the basis of the latest scientific findings.
Who is manual therapy suitable for?
OMT is used specifically for
- Back pain & spinal blockages
- Shoulder, knee & hip complaints
- Restricted movement after surgery or injury
- Nerve irritation (e.g. sciatica, carpal tunnel syndrome)
- Temporomandibular joint problems (CMD)
- Whiplash or functional dizziness complaints
- Instabilities or muscular imbalances
OMT is also a tried and tested method with a high therapeutic standard for complex or long-lasting complaints.
How the OMT treatment works
- Careful manual examination
We analyse your movement quality, joint function and muscular tension patterns. - Individual target definition & therapy planning
Together we will determine the focus of your treatment. - Targeted manual techniques
Joints are mobilised or manipulated, muscles stretched or relaxed, nerves mobilised. - Supplementary active therapy
Exercises, posture correction and self-measures round off the treatment - for long-term results.
