Abstract:

Purpose. This study was designed to investigate the Effect of selected osteopathic lymphatic techniques on immune system in healthy subjects. Method. Forty five subjects (33 males and 12 females), with age ranged from 20 to 30 years old participated in this study. They were assigned into three equal groups each one has 15 subjects: group A received sternal pump and sternal recoil techniques for 12 sessions, three sessions per week. Group B received thoracic lymphatic pump and splenic pump techniques for 12 sessions, three sessions per week. Group C (control group) did not receive any physical therapy modality. Absolute count of CD4 and WBCs count were used to evaluate participants before and after application of the osteopathic techniques, and for subjects in the control group before and after one month. Results. Statistical analysis revealed that there was a significant increase in CD4 P value was ≤ 0.045 and WBCs count P-value was ≤ 0.006 between before and after treatment with the second group in the two experimental groups. While there was no significant difference in the same measuring variables in the first and control groups. Comparison between groups revealed that there was a significant difference between the first and second groups in CD4 and WBCs, P: probability< 0.05. Conclusion. The second osteopathic manipulative treatment group was the effective method of enhancing the immune system in healthy subjects (thoracic lymphatic pump (TLPT) and splenic pump techniques (SPT).-Keywords: Osteopathy, CD4, Thoracic lymphatic pump, splenic pump technique, Sternal pump technique and Sternal recoil technique.
