Osteopathy - Special Part
Osteopathy uniquely combines its concept, principles, and methods, artfully applying this union to the patient.
Osteopathic Concept
The osteopathic concept is based on three pillars:
- Philosophy
Life is experienced as indivisible, and the human system is an expression of this totality of life. The human being in his entirety is a subunit of a larger whole (microcosm = macrocosm). - Science
Physical, chemical, and biological science combined with the maintenance of health, prevention, and treatment of diseases through appropriate procedures. - Art
The artful implementation of philosophy and science in practical application.
Osteopathic Principles
- The body, with its constituting parts, is a unit, and the human is a unit of body, mind, and soul.
- The human’s ability in the living body for self-regulation (homeostasis) and self-healing with the maintenance of health within.
- Function (physiology) and structure (anatomy) mutually influence each other.
Osteopathic examination and treatment are based on the application of the above three principles.
Osteopathic Methodologies
- Osteopathic biomechanical methodology
- Osteopathic biokinetic methodology
- Osteopathic biodynamic methodology
Osteopathy works diagnostically and therapeutically using the above three methodologies on the parietal, visceral, and craniosacral levels.
