- Abstract
- Introduction: In light of the recent radical change toward evidence based practice approach. Manual therapy is being evermore questioned. Osteopathy, therefore must establish justification primarily through physiological rational and controlled studies, rather than relying on empirical data. In the following study, key concepts of the efficacy of osteopathic treatment with regards to endometriosis will be discussed and assessed, with respect to recent research and osteopathic precepts. It is hoped the outcome of this review will turn on or not the evidence that there is a disconnection between the precepts or paradigm of osteopathic understanding of the adaptive body and the main stream.Method: The nature of the project involved data reading, gathering, and synthesis of as much evidence based research information the author could get to optimize research and come up with the subsequent analysis. The author analyzed 123 articles (published or not) through electronic search via Greenwich University or internet (Google) and 42 different books from libraries. Given the vast scope of the subject as, it made the electronic searches limited in time therefore earlier references were also included, as far as 1958 and 1899 for Osteopathy, detailing more historic roots to construct opinion.
