DOMT Final Examination Study Guide

Based on the Complete OMT Manual

Jiro Yamahata, BCSc., DOMP · PCC PRESS

This guide covers the whole Complete OMT Manual (Blue Book Series) in one volume for the DOMT final examination. It arranges the course in 72 focused chapters. Each chapter opens with a short overview, sets out the key points under clear headings, puts easily confused facts side by side in tables, and ends with a Quick Recall block with answers.

Part One: Osteopathic Manual Medicine (Chapters 1–22). The philosophy of Still and Hulett, Korr’s facilitation model, Fryette’s laws, the TART criteria and Zink’s compensatory pattern. Also FPR, MET and HVLA, region by region from the cervical spine to the extremities.

Part Two: Integrated Cranial Osteopathy (Chapters 23–67).

• Foundations: the primary respiratory mechanism and the reciprocal tension membrane.
• Treatment sequence: venous sinus drainage, CV4, and sacral and OA normalization.
• The cranial and facial bones, and the SBS strain patterns.
• Clinical application: headache, post-concussion syndrome, TMJ, pediatric and autonomic presentations.

Part Three: Visceral and Lymphatic Technique (Chapters 68–72). Organ-by-organ evaluation, Chapman’s reflex points, autonomic innervation, ligament-specific direct and indirect technique, and lymphatic pumps.

Shaded boxes flag red flags and common exam traps throughout. The book closes with a 50-item Final Check and a full index. Classical statements by Still, Sutherland and Magoun are quoted from the source and kept distinct from modern scientific readings. Contraindications, referral and scope of practice are covered fully.

For students of the PSC DOMT program. A matching Japanese edition, DOMT最終試験スタディガイド, has the same chapter numbering.
