Osteopathic Manual Practitioners help to maintain, improve or restore the normal physiological funct Manual osteopathy is based on 4 basic principles:
1.

Osteopathic Practitioners help to maintain, improve or restore the normal physiological function of interrelated body structures and systems. Each structure (bones, muscles, organs, fascia…) in the body supports the body’s functions. If a structure is damaged, out of position, or otherwise not working efficiently, the body will not function at its best.
2. The natural flow of the body’s fluids – lymphatic, vascular, and neurological – to be preserved and maintained.
3. The human body is the sum of its parts. It’s not only physical but includes the emotional, social, spiritual, and cognitive systems. They should work in harmony because they don’t work independently.
4. When the body has no restrictions, it has the inherent ability to heal itself. Why would you come to an Osteopathic Practitioner
- sports injuries, mobility issues, work strains, pregnancy care, infant ailments, children's growing pains, sinusitis, TMJ, headaches, hip and knee replacements, scar tissue relief, tendonitis and more...
The benefits of being treated by an Osteopathic Practitioner may include:
• addresses the underlying causes of pain
• offers pain relief through non-invasive treatment
• diminishes trauma resulting from accidents
• facilitates and encourages the body to heal itself
• safe and uniquely suited for individuals of all ages
• helps the body adapt to hormonal and structural changes

Congratulations Italy being recognized as Healthcare provider now being Regulated!

Following the landmark Law No. 3 of 2018 (the Lorenzin Law), osteopathy has moved from an unregulated field to a fully recognised healthcare profession. This journey marks a significant step in enhancing the National Health System and ensuring the highest quality of care for citizens.

Here are the key milestones:

✅ A Shift to University Education: From 2024, osteopathic training has structurally moved into the university system, with nine universities currently offering the degree. By September 2026, all new enrolments must be within the university framework.

✅ A Specialist in Prevention: Osteopathy is now officially classified within the "prevention area" of healthcare. This means osteopaths are regulated to intervene across all four levels of prevention—from assessing healthy individuals to managing chronic conditions and comorbidities.

✅ The Equivalence Pathway: For those trained in private institutions, a clear transition process is now in place. To regularise their status, professionals must:
• Certify at least three years and 2,400 hours of education.
• Address any educational gaps and enter temporary special registers for up to six years.
• Pass professional licensing examination at a university.

Why does this matter? 🛡️ The establishment of a formal Professional Register within the Federation of Orders of Healthcare Professions ensures patient safety. It allows the public to identify appropriately trained professionals and effectively counters illegal practice.

Ultimately, only those with a qualifying degree or a legally recognised equivalent will be entitled to practice, safeguarding both the practitioner and the patient.

LBP can be experienced at any age, and most people experience LBP at least once in their life.

Fantastic news!! 🤗🤞🤞🤞

The OAO has submitted its bid for professional regulation to the Ontario Ministry of Health!

Regulation aims to enhance public safety, elevate standards of education and patient care, and advance Osteopathy as a distinct health care profession.

Thank you to our members and partners for your hard work.

We are so proud to have spearheaded this huge effort!
