Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment for Women
As a board-certified DO, Dr. Britney Gibby brings specialized osteopathic training to every patient — offering gentle, hands-on treatment for pain relief, pregnancy comfort, and whole-body wellness.
What Is OMT?
Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment is a hands-on approach to diagnosis and treatment that uses gentle pressure, stretching, and resistance to restore balance throughout the body.
Unlike conventional medicine that focuses primarily on symptoms, OMT addresses the root cause of pain, tension, and dysfunction by working with the body's musculoskeletal system — the muscles, joints, ligaments, and fascia that support everything from posture to organ function.
As a Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine (DO), Dr. Gibby completed extensive training in OMT during medical school and residency. She is one of few OB/GYNs in the Winter Springs and Orlando area who actively incorporates osteopathic manipulation into her women's healthcare practice.
OMT is safe, gentle, and can be performed during pregnancy — making it an invaluable tool for managing the aches, pains, and physical changes that come with each trimester.

OMT FAQs
Common questions about osteopathic manipulative treatment at Inspire OBGYN.
What's the difference between a DO and an MD?
Both are fully licensed physicians. DOs receive additional training in osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT) — a hands-on approach to diagnosing and treating musculoskeletal issues. Dr. Gibby uses this specialized training to enhance her OB/GYN care.
Is OMT safe during pregnancy?
Yes. Prenatal OMT is gentle, non-invasive, and specifically adapted for pregnant patients. Dr. Gibby has specialized training in treating pregnant women and modifies techniques based on trimester and individual needs.
Does OMT hurt?
OMT is generally gentle and comfortable. Some techniques involve light pressure or stretching that may cause mild discomfort, but most patients find the treatment relaxing and experience immediate relief.
How many sessions will I need?
It depends on your condition and goals. Some patients find relief in a single session, while others benefit from regular treatments — especially during pregnancy as the body continuously changes. Dr. Gibby will create a personalized plan for you.
Is OMT covered by insurance?
OMT performed by a physician is often covered by insurance when medically indicated. Our team can help verify your coverage. Self-pay options are also available.
