Osteopathic care, like all forms of healthcare, is formed of complex human interactions, the effects of which are more than just the sums of the individual social, biological and psychological parts [1]. The way in which these aspects manifest in health and disease are influenced by the unique inter-activity, inter-subjectivity and context-sensitivity which characterises the inherent complexity of person-centred clinical practice [2]. For example, intuitively and experientially we know that in practice performing the same manual therapy treatments for different ‘low back pain patients’ can often lead to different outco...

The legacy and implications of the body-mind-spirit osteopathic tenet: a discussion paper evaluating its clinical relevance in contemporary osteopathic care
A current osteopathic tenet inherited from Native American principles involves viewing each person as a dynamic interaction of body-mind-spirit (BMS). Because of its traditional medicine heritage and current evidence-based approach, the osteopathic profession is, arguably, uniquely positioned to promote evidence-informed person-centered approaches that transcend improvements in pain and musculoskeletal function. It may be particularly relevant in the context of integrating the BMS tenet into osteopathic care according to the diversity of patients ’ values and sociocultural assumptions towards health, symptoms, and subseq...

Osteopaths ’ Perspectives on Patient Adherence to Self-Management Strategies: A Qualitative Content Analysis
Self-management strategies (SMS) have been found to positively affect healthcare outcomes. However, clinicians often encounter patients with differing levels of adherence to SMS, making it an imperative to recognise and manage the factors underpinning patient adherence to such strategies. To this end, this study explored practitioner-perceived barriers and enablers that affect patient adherence to SMS. (Source: International Journal of Osteopathic Medicine)

Movement is clearly of importance to osteopaths, but objective measurement of human movement does not always play a central part in the profession. This textbook, now in its 7th edition may help bridge that gap. It is primarily aimed at physiotherapy and sports science undergraduates, but osteopaths might gain something from it.
