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].
All joints have positions that provide a degree of freedom or create a low level of laxity of the capsule and ligaments that allows little, accurate movements of joint play. This is the result of internal and external movement forces on the body, such as passive movements. These joint play movements are referred to as accessory movements and are not under conscious control, but they are essential to permissive, painless functioning of active movement[3].
