Answer: What is Lymph Drainage Therapy mean? Osteopathy is distinct from chiropractic and physiotherapy

Osteopathy is a type of alternative medicine that emphasizes physical manipulation of the body's muscle tissue and bones. Practitioners of osteopathy are referred to as osteopaths. Its name derives from Ancient Greek "bone" (ὀστέον) and "pain, suffering" (πάθος).

Osteopathic manipulation is the core set of techniques in osteopathy. Parts of osteopathy, such as craniosacral therapy, have no therapeutic value and have been labeled as pseudoscience and quackery. The techniques are based on an ideology created by Andrew Taylor Still (1828–1917) which posits the existence of a "myofascial continuity"—a tissue layer that "links every part of the body with every other part". Osteopaths attempt to diagnose and treat what was originally called "the osteopathic lesion", but which is now named "somatic dysfunction", by manipulating a person's bones and muscles. Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment (OMT) techniques are most commonly used to treat back pain and other musculoskeletal issues.

In the United States the training of osteopathic physicians is similar to that of Doctor of Medicine (MD) physicians. Osteopathic manipulation is still included in the curricula of osteopathic physicians and is considered a unique aspect of Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine (DO) training. In the United States, graduates of osteopathic medical schools have the option to sit for both the osteopathic physician-specific COMLEX medical licensing exam and the allopathic USMLE licensing exam.
