Hi everyone. I am a 2nd year Osteopathic Medical Student. I have about had it with the posts on the osteopathic thread from students that hate OMM and think it is made up. I have a superficial knowledge of P.T. therapies, but I wanted to get some input, to maybe share with my uninformed colleagues, of research based treatment modalities.
I had a chat with a PTA friend the other night, and she and I spoke about Strain/Counterstrain, MFR and Muscle Energy.
I am curious what other modalities you use frequently, and of the ones I mentioned above, how often you use them and the evidence you use to back up their use. I know they work and thought if it could be shown that there is evidence based practice out there, it might defuse some of the angry anti-OMM comments out there. If I am wrong in posting here, forgive me, but I believe you are our closest allies in physical medicine.
Thanks in advance for your input!
