This particular video is intended as a demonstration of common thoracic and lumbar spine palpatory landmarks commonly encountered during physical examination, osteopathic structural examination, and OMT
It is not intended as a complete instructional video and should not be considered a source of complete OMT instruction.
Instead, it should be treated as a supplement to independent learning using primary Osteopathic Manipulation instructional resources. Clinical skills are best learned and developed with support from faculty in the context of a complete Osteopathic Medical School Curriculum.
Osteopathic Clinical Skills is a channel dedicated to discussing and exploring Osteopathic Clinical Skills concepts for medical students, residents, and clinicians and presenting them in an easy to understand manner.
