Anyone can find disease.”
Andrew Taylor Still, MD, DO – Founder of Osteopathic Medicine
Osteopathic manipulative therapy (OMT) embodies the core philosophy and practice of traditional osteopathy in a contemporary, result-oriented, evidence-based fashion. OMT uses hands-on diagnosis and treatment with a focus on ensuring the patient is free from restriction so that their native health can be restored. As osteopathic physicians, DOs are specially trained to use a hands-on approach to diagnose and treat musculoskeletal issues that impede the body’s natural ability to heal itself from pain and injury. OMT offers a non-medication complement to improve function and symptom relief for acute and chronic pain conditions such as neck and back pain, joint pain and headaches.
Dr. Kim is well-versed in the use of both direct and indirect forms of osteopathic manipulative treatment, including:
- Fascial Distortion Method (FDM)

- Facilitated Positional Release (FPR)
- Myofascial Release (MFR)
- Cranial Osteopathy
- High Velocity Low Amplitude (HVLA or “cracking”)
- Still Technique
