I am Jane Johnson, MA, the Associate Director of DO-Touch.NET and a Research Assistant Professor with the A.T. Still Research Institute. As a statistician who is passionate about osteopathic manipulation, I spend my time on designing, analyzing, and publishing research about OMT.

Time for the DO-Touch.NET OMM Research Journal Club!

On December 18, 2020, 10:00-11:00 AM Central Time (US and Canada), we’ll be discussing “Short-term effect of osteopathic manual techniques (OMT) on respiratory function in healthy individuals” by Jakub Stępnik, Agnieszka Kędra, and Dariusz Czaprowski.

DO‑Touch.NET members are encouraged to read the article and come prepared to discuss how the results reported by the authors can be applied in your clinical practice of OMT.

This session of the Let’s Talk About OMM Research! series is approved for 1 AOA Category 1-A CME credit for DO-Touch.NET members who attend the virtual session live. Information about CME credit is available here.
