There are two sides to Osteopathy.
Utilitarian speaking, osteopathy generally falls along the same lines as chiropractic, physiotherapy, massage therapy and maybe acupuncture. In the end, all of these practices aim to "fix" your body through some sort of coordinated physical manipulation of your muscles and bones; a strategic massage so to speak. And it obviously works because you can feel it. There are other nuances here and there, but generally you can't go wrong with either one.
Where osteopathy differs is in its ideological beliefs. It started out under the belief that manipulating the Fascia—a thin layer of muscle that links every part of the body with every other part—can relieve muscle pain and muscle tension inside the body. Remember, this is entirely ideologically-based; there is no actual proof.
Osteopathy (back in the 20th century) was initially more of a pseudoscience than anything, but now it's become a standardized evidenced-based practice (EBP). Truthfully, there is currently little scientific evidence to support osteopathy along with chiropractic. This is not to say that osteopathy is fake, because it obviously works wonders on our bodies. Perhaps further research and technological breakthroughs are needed to understand the true science behind it.

Get the Osteopathy mug.A town in Northern Indiana between South Bend and Elkhart. Neither South Bend or Elkhart are worth mentioning, so this little shit hole doesn't even really deserve an Urban Dictionary definition except to serve as a warning. !!!WARNING!!! If you ever find yourself visiting this town you are either looking for a redneck, meth-head, fist-fight-on-a-Tuesday-night-because there's-nothing-else-to-do bar, or you are looking for a shitty used car, or possibly both. There is absolutely nothing else in this "vacuum of the Mid-west" beside used car lots and bars. Should you ever find that you will be actually taking up residency in this hemorrhoid of the corn belt, do yourself a favor and stop off at the Martin's supermarket at either edge of town and pick up a pack of cherry Life Savers and a handgun (the Life Savers will get rid of the taste of metal when you place the barrel in your mouth).
