OMM Models
100

The sympathetic level(s) for the Head & Neck

T1-T4

100

The muscle(s) which are targeted in the treatment of inhalation somatic dysfunctions for ribs 3-5.

Pectoralis minor

100

Patient refusal is classified as this type of contraindication.

Absolute
100

These reflexes occur when visceral dysfunctions cause somatic changes, such as muscle tension or pain, and are a key focus in OMM to diagnose and treat autonomic imbalances.

Viscerosomatic Reflexes

100

This OMT model considers the factors affecting health, emphasizing lifestyle changes and stress management.

Behavioral Model

200

The sympathetic level(s) for the heart

T1-T5

200

The muscle(s) which is/are targeted in the treatment of inhalation somatic dysfunctions for rib 1.

Anterior & Middle Scalenes

200

Inability to tolerate treatment is classified as this type of contraindication.

Relative

200

These reflex points are palpable, tender nodules that correspond to specific visceral organs and are used in OMM to assess and influence autonomic nervous system function.

Chapman's Points

200

This OMT model emphasizes enhancing the flow of fluids in the body, including lymphatic and venous circulation, to improve respiratory and circulatory function.

Respiratory-Circulatory Model

300

The sympathetic level(s) for the lungs

T2-T7

300

The muscle(s) which is/are targeted in the treatment of inhalation somatic dysfunctions for ribs 6-8.

400

The muscle(s) which is/are targeted in the treatment of inhalation somatic dysfunctions for ribs 11-12.

Quadratus lumborum

400

Lymphatic drainage in a cancer patient is classified as this type of contraindication.

Relative

400

This direct form of OMT can be used to quickly treat asthma via stimulating dilation of the bronchi.

The muscle(s) which is/are targeted in the treatment of inhalation somatic dysfunctions for ribs 9-10.

Latissimus dorsi

500

Down Syndrome is classified as this type of contraindication.
