Osteopathic Manual Therapy Apprentice
Jacob Simonini A-EMCA, ACP
Jacob Simonini is a first year apprentice in osteopathic manual therapy. He is currently studying a 4+1 year program in the Masters in Osteopathic Manipulative Sciences (M.OMSc) program at the CAO-HHS. Jacob’s foundation of patient treatment is on an individual basis that involves the whole body as a comprehensive unit. Jacob’s practice promotes the value of patient care and patient progress through the manual application of osteopathic manipulative science while integrating modern techniques and theory into his clinical practice thus benefiting the overall health of his patients. In keeping with professionalism, continual education and consistent research in the osteopathic field, Jacob hopes to advance the practice of osteopathy and strive to minimize patients discomfort and suffering and as a result provide a better quality of life for each individual he has the opportunity to treat and learn from.
In addition to studying in the Masters in Osteopathic Manipulative Sciences program, Jacob is also a full time Advanced Care Paramedic. Jacob has become a leading paramedic in his knowledge and practice of the profession and through his expertise has also been an instructor for upcoming advanced care paramedics. Through his work as a paramedic, Jacob realized his passion for the human body and wanted to study it further. In doing so, Jacob took the opportunity of working alongside a team of physicians involved in prehospital research called R.O.C (Resuscitation Outcome Consortium). Searching for a new challenge and more in depth understanding of the human body and how it functions, Jacob has now immersed himself in the study and practice of osteopathy. During his time as a student and apprentice Jacob plans to study abroad and gain expertise from the most influential practitioners in osteopathy. To advance his understanding of osteopathy as well as the practice he applies to his patients, Jacob also plans to involve himself in the research of osteopathy in hopes to perfect treatments and overall patient care.
Jacob strongly believes in dedication, hard work and taking every learning opportunity possible. Whether the learning comes from the classroom, or in practical application, Jacob strives to excel in his osteopathic manual therapy apprenticeship and his ability to help and heal the patients he is privileged enough to treat and learn from.
In Jacob’s spare time, he enjoys a life in the country on a horse farm with his wife and family. He enjoys an active lifestyle of hiking, traveling and even riding horses from time to time!
