savarese lol....as much as OMM blows...it def makes it somewhat tolerable
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.

👍 thanks for the link. must start somewhere for OMM even if it takes getting injured ha ha
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.
thanks man. i took an OMM lab at OU last summer as an undergrad. we did mostly soft tissue stuff and of course the age old palpation intro with finding the penny stuffed in a book..no worries i won't try HVLA and hurt my fellow collegaues
It'll be the 1/1,000,000 chance of vertebral dissection.
