OM-PM focuses on re-establishing the significance OM as an approach to physical medicine through truly understanding the “Tendino-Muscular Channels (and other relevant channel systems) with respect to pathologies, diagnosis, and treatment. Diagnostic methods unique to both OM and physical medicine (orthopedic, neurologic, palpation, and manual muscle assessment methods are employed and reframed into the OM paradigm in order to broaden diagnosis and treatment options.
