AOT: The goal of the metabolic model is to enhance the self-regulatory and self-healing mechanisms, to foster energy conservation by balancing the body's energy expenditure and exchange,and to enhance immune system function, endocrine function and organ function. The osteopathic considerations in this area are not manipulative in nature except for the use of lymphatic pump techniques. Nutritional counseling, diet and exercise advice are the most common approaches to balancing the body through this model.
