What does POMT mean in PEDIATRIC

POMT is intended for use on infants and children with a variety of physical conditions or illnesses such as colic, ear infections, constipation or feeding problems. It is also beneficial for those with chronic musculoskeletal pain as well as those who are developmentally delayed.

The practitioner uses gentle manipulation and stretching to help reduce tension in muscles, ligaments and joints while repositioning the bones into their correct alignment. This helps to improve circulation in those areas which can increase mobility and reduce discomfort from muscle soreness or tightness.

Yes, POMT is safe for children when performed by an experienced practitioner who has undergone appropriate training. All techniques should be performed with caution under the guidance of a qualified professional using appropriate amounts of pressure that are comfortable for the child in question.

Some people may experience temporary soreness after a session due to manipulation done during the treatment; however this usually resolves itself quickly upon further movement and activity. In rare cases there may be more serious side effects that may require further medical attention; you should always consult your doctor if you have any concerns about your child's safety when undergoing this kind of treatment.

While many parents report immediate results after a session of POMT, it is important to remember that these results are often short-term unless further treatments are undertaken over an extended period of time. Regular sessions may be necessary over an extended period in order for long-term physical improvement and increased mobility goals to be achieved.
