Although osteopathic therapy contains the word "bone" in its name, its treatment scope is not limited to bones and joints. It is a holistic medical system that emphasizes the interrelationships between various systems of the body and promotes the body's self-healing abilities through manual therapy.

Manual therapy is a physical therapy specialty where therapists use their hands to assess and treat the body's joints, muscles, and nervous system through specific techniques. This therapy aims to relieve pain, improve joint mobility, restore normal function, and address various issues related to the musculoskeletal system.

"Internal organs" refers to the body's internal organs, such as the liver, kidneys, and intestines. Our internal organs are not static but constantly in motion; for example, our lungs cause the stomach to rise and fall 12-20 times per minute. Each organ is also held in place by tissues that provide a smooth surface for each organ—the visceral joints.
