What is Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment (OMT)?

Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment is a set of hands-on medical techniques used by physicians to diagnose and treat illness or injury by stretching, massaging, and applying gentle pressure to muscles and joints. By addressing the body’s physical structure, it aims to reduce pain and inflammation while promoting the body’s natural ability to heal across the circulatory, respiratory, and digestive systems.

Dr Tara Tarantino offers Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment in Walnut Creek, serving patients throughout the San Francisco Bay Area.
