This is a good resource: http://www.acofp.org/OMT_and_OMM_Resources/OMT_for_Residents_and_Students/

With that said, as you are not licensed to practice OMT and are not an osteopathic medical student, you should not perform maneuvers on individuals because you could injure them. I take no responsibility.

You must start with anatomy. Feel free to start learning how to palpate, but you have no business doing OMM until you're taught it in lab.

Just wait and do it in lab. You'll have more fun with all the half-naked guinea pigs.

It'll be the 1/1,000,000 chance of vertebral dissection.
