Please hold back your urge to type “nothing.”

I’m not talking about the psychological impact of touching patients, or how it solidified your understanding of anatomy - I want to know a specific OMM technique that you’re glad to have learned and why.

For you pre-DOs, OMS’s, and DOs - what part of OMM did you enjoy watching, performing or learning about? What about it did you like?

I think the most dramatic results are treating pelvic rotations(,sacroiliac), and ribs. The results are dramatic and mostly instantaneous. The patient looks bewildered when the pain is gone. As I said in another post, these are infrequent causes for a trip to your office.

I didn't even know that pelvic rotation was a thing. This can treat both the discomfort and postural problems?

Yes. The patient might require a heel lift in their shoe depending on the degree lo leg length discrepancy.

Chapman's points. 😉

For me it was the lower lumbar stuff. I also think that some of the fascial manipulations could in theory improve circulation, there are of course no studies indicating this that I know of.

I like that when I get back/hip pain from working out that a 10 minute treatment from a classmate consistently gives nearly complete symptom reduction/resolution. That's pretty cool.
