Purpose[edit | edit source]
The Kaltenborn method, also referred to as Othopaedic Manual Physical Therapy (OMT), is a Nordic System of Manual Therapy derived by Freddy Kaltenborn and Olaf Evjenth over several years. This Nordic system seeks to repair usual joint mechanics[1]. This method can be applied for the assessment and treatment of translotoric joint play movements (namely traction and gliding) with reference to the treatment plane of the joint, hence providing a gradual and efficacious joint mobilisation[2].
