Experimental Treatment

Active Control

Group I: OMT Intervention ArmExperimental Treatment1 Intervention

OMT will include: Myofascial release of the thoracic inlet: gentle pressure applied to shoulders and neck to move the tissue in different directions with a gentle motion. Pectoral traction: The armpit will be contacted with the finger pads of the doctor and each side will be gently grasped and have a slow pulling force applied towards the shoulders. Diaphragm release with MFR: The doctor will touch below the ribs on each side and will apply gentle pressure and move the tissue from side to side. Splenic pump: below the ribs on the left hand-side, the doctor will apply pressure and release pressure several times to create a vibration over the area just below the ribs. Thoracic pump: The doctor will place their hands over the chest wall on each side and will apply pressure and release pressure several times to generate a pumping action of about 100 times in one minute. Treatment will last 5 minutes with each technique lasting 1 minute.

Group II: ControlActive Control1 Intervention

Participants in the control group will undergo the same assessments as the OMT intervention arm and will receive their vaccinations, but will not receive any OMT.
