Victoria Bates, D.O., graduated from the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine in 1993. Her medical training included courses in Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine (OMM). During her postgraduate training at the Tallahassee Memorial Family Practice Residency, she spent six weeks working one-on-one with a specialist in Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine. As a primary care physician at Capital Health Plan for over a decade, she provided hands-on Osteopathic treatment in addition to traditional family medicine. In January of 2011, she opened her own osteopathic manipulative medicine practice, Intrinsic Health, where she focuses on OMM as a complement to the traditional care provided by the patient’s primary care physician. She continues to participate in hands-on OMM courses and workshops on a regular basis.
At this meeting, we will explore some of the philosophy of Osteopathy, a little bit of history, and what to expect when one visits a D. O. for Osteopathic Manipulative treatment. By the end of the evening, attendees should have a better understanding of the osteopathic perspective and how an osteopathic treatment can help a patient.
