摘要

Osteopathy considers the human body as a functional unit in which structure and function constantly interact. Its therapeutic goal is to detect and release restrictions and tension patterns that interfere with the body’s self-regulation through gentle manual techniques. In rheumatology, osteopathic treatment may complement standard therapy by reducing pain, improving mobility, and correcting myofascial imbalances, particularly during stable disease phases. Clinical experience suggests that many patients with rheumatic disorders respond positively to osteopathic cotreatment. Several studies indicate potential benefits regarding pain, function, and well-being [13]. However, current evidence remains limited. Close interdisciplinary collaboration between rheumatologists and osteopaths, as well as further research, are essential to define the scientific foundations and clinical boundaries of osteopathic interventions in rheumatology.
