Osteopathy seeks to understand how manual therapy affects human physiology and health, and perceptions of pain and discomfort. Since 1901, the Journal of Osteopathic Medicine has served as an international, peer-reviewed forum for scientific research. jom.osteopathic.org

Recently, more osteopaths have been pursuing advanced degrees and work in research, which also forms a vital part of students' education. Several PhDs in osteopathy exist (i.e. University College of Osteopathy's), but usually osteopaths pursue PhDs in neurology, psychology, etc.

Osteopathic health care is for every person, for all ages and stages of life. Osteopathy aims to improve the person’s overall well-being, considering the biological, sociological, psychological and spiritual needs of people as part of their local communities.

As healthcare providers, osteopathic professionals have contributed their clinical skills to athletes around the world for over a century. Research demonstrates improved function among athletes receiving manual therapy and advice given by osteopathic professionals.

Osteopathic educators and regulators support and promote evidence-based practice (EBP), encouraging the study and use of best available evidence, clinical experience, and patient preferences to make informed patient care decisions.

PROMs allows the collection of information directly from patients about their reasons for seeing an osteopathic professional, satisfaction etc. Internationally, the Osteopathic Practitioners Estimates and Rates census project shows osteopaths' distribution, prevalence & profile.

The Practice-Based Research Network design of the ORION Project affords a broad focus essential to establishing a national, coordinated platform of evidence critical to informing further detailed, specific sub-studies in osteopathy. orion-arccim.com/pbrn-informati…
