Promoting the Use of OMT When Precepting Students

Video Transcription

Video Summary

A family medicine physician from Maine describes integrating osteopathic manipulation into a busy practice in Margate, New Jersey, while teaching third-year PCOM students. The office sees 25–30 patients daily, many with chronic or musculoskeletal complaints. Students perform structural exams, discuss findings, and help provide hands-on treatments such as suboccipital release, myofascial release, balanced ligamentous tension, trigger point work, and muscle energy. The physician emphasizes real-time learning, patient engagement, and quick results, including dramatic relief for severe sciatica and neck pain. The goal is to train students to use osteopathic techniques confidently in future practice.
