The Future of Osteopathy

Bruno Bordoni et al. Cureus. .

Abstract

Every clinician has the duty to keep clinical and scientific knowledge updated, with the aim of improving clinical practice. Many homeostatic reactions of the organism are not yet well understood and framed by medicine or classical physics. Quantum physics offers new and multiple information to understand how the human body works, starting from the assumption that the macroscopic is managed by nanoscopic quantum coherence. The future of osteopathy should be to integrate the educational path with quantum physics.

Keywords: fascia; osteopathic medicine; osteopathy; palpation; quantum physics.
