Dr. Blau attends to Abigail Carey, 43, during an Osteopathic Manipulative Therapy appointment at Blue Mountain Clinic in Missoula, Montana, U.S. February 24, 2023. Carey has Myalgic Encephalomyelitis and Fibromyalgia, a combination that affects her energy levels and often makes everyday activities more challenging. To manage her pain, she has regular OMT appointments. “OMT helps release some of the tension and the pain and holding patterns”, Carey said. “It’s so subtle and gentle, but I love that it’s sort of hands on.” REUTERS/Callaghan O’Hare
