Ibegan my first osteopathic manipulative medicine (OMM) shift at a student-run free clinic with a quiet trepidation and with a patient who had been returning for years. She moved slowly, guarded in her posture, carrying a tension you could feel before she spoke. As I worked through the structural exam, she admitted softly, almost embarrassed, that she had been trying for years to “get stronger,” following every exercise suggestion she could find, only to feel that her body was betraying her effort.
