What is Manual Osteopathic Therapy?

Manual Osteopathic Therapy, or MOT, is a drug-free, non-invasive manual therapy that aims to improve health across all body systems.

Manual Osteopathic Therapy is meant to improve and reset the body’s natural healing process. This involves assessing and treating the body as a whole; including the musculoskeletal, nervous, circulatory, lymphatic and other organ systems.

Your musculoskeletal system includes your bones, muscles, cartilage, ligaments, tendons and connective tissues. Think of the pieces that support you and help you move. Other systems include your nerves, blood vessels, organs and lymphatic vessels.

MOT treatment is meant to reconnect all of these systems and get them back to integrating and performing optimally. Often treating one ailment will lead to multiple areas of relief! Therapists are frequently called magicians for their talent in alleviating clients’ reported symptoms.
