Osteopathic Foundations Curriculum
Osteopathic Principles and Practices (OPP) refers to a philosophical and practical approach to patient management and treatment, including osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT), based on an understanding of body unity, self-healing, and self-regulatory mechanisms the interrelationship of structure and function. OPP further defines the conceptual knowledge and practical application of the distinct behavioral, philosophical, and procedural aspects of clinical practice related to the four tenets of osteopathic medicine as follows:
● the body is a unit;
● a person is a unit of body, mind, and spirit;
● the body is capable of self-regulation, self-healing, and health maintenance;
● structure and function are reciprocally interrelated;
Rational treatment is based upon understanding the basic principles of body unity, self-regulation, and the interrelationship of structure and function.
