“…A linear cause–effect relationship can be observed to sense, categorize, and define a symptom-based approach that the patient can understand well through anatomical–physiological explanations. Practitioner reasoning considers anatomical structures and functions to define manipulative approaches and mobilizations applicable to regional interdependence (RI) [ 91 , 92 ]. RI is a term used to describe clinical observations believed to exist between regions of the body, particularly in the management of MSK disorders proposed in physical therapy [ 94 ] as well as in the COP pan-professional approach [ 91 , 92 ].…”

Background: Chiropractic, osteopathy, and physiotherapy (COP) professionals regulated outside the United States traditionally incorporate hands-on procedures aligned with their historical principles to guide patient care. However, some authors in COP research advocate a pan-professional, evidence-informed, patient-centered approach to musculoskeletal care, emphasizing hands-off management of patients through education and exercise therapy. The extent to which non-Western sociocultural beliefs about body representations in health and disease, including Indigenous beliefs, could influence the patient–practitioner dyad and affect the interpretation of pillars of evidence-informed practice, such as patient-centered care and patient expectations, remains unknown. Methods: our perspective paper combines the best available evidence with expert insights and unique viewpoints to address gaps in the scientific literature and inform an interdisciplinary readership. Results: A COP pan-professional approach tends to marginalize approaches, such as prevention-oriented clinical scenarios traditionally advocated by osteopathic practitioners for patients with non-Western sociocultural health assumptions. The Cynefin framework was introduced as a decision-making tool to aid clinicians in managing complex clinical scenarios and promoting evidence-informed, patient-centered, and culturally sensitive care. Conclusion: Epistemological flexibility is historically rooted in osteopathic care, due to his Indigenous roots. It is imperative to reintroduce conceptual and operative clinical frameworks that better address contemporary health needs, promote inclusion and equality in healthcare, and enhance the quality of manual therapy services beyond COP’s Western-centered perspective.

“…The Fascia is defined by Still as "the place to look for the cause of disease and the place to consult and begin the action of remedies in all diseases" [1]. The osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT) consists of a range of direct, indirect, combined, fluid, and reflex-based manual techniques (Table 1) [2] that are applied to joints, muscles and especially to fascia, a specialized connective tissue that provides body tensegrity.…”

The purpose of this paper is to review relevant literature concerning limb length inequalities in adults and to make recommendations for assessment and intervention based on the literature and our own clinical experience. The research was carried out on PUB MED, Non-English articles and duplicates in the databases were not included. Limb length inequality and common classification criteria are defined and etiological factors are present. Common methods of detecting limb length inequality include model manual technics. This work has the purpose of describing a well standardized therapeutic in the form of practical guidance. The approach we describe provides standardized model evaluation for leg lower limb in order to be used in rehabilitation clinic.
