OMT Without a Table

The practice of osteopathic manipulative treatments is beneficial to patients and physicians on my levels, however, the actual employment techniques can be limited by time and space. This workshop seeks to teach practical, office-based techniques that can be performed in many environments and efficiently so that time and space are not as much of a limiting factor. We will discuss adaptations for different office setups and anatomy/habitus of the patient and practitioner as well as billing & coding practices to justify the time and effort taken.

Upon completion of this program, participants will be able to:

1. Become more comfortable incorporating OMT in the standard office visit for many common complaints
2. Learn new ways to become more ergonomic, effective and efficient with OMT skills given the limitations of a typical office setup
3. Justify the practice of OMT on a routine basis via updated billing/coding practices and EBM benefits for both practitioner and patient.
