Abstract:

Background: Musculoskeletal conditions with multisystem comorbidities present significant challenges in terms of prevention and rehabilitation. Despite advances in instrumental technologies for diagnosis and treatment, a gap remains between biomedical research and practical application. Strengthening the therapeutic alliance involves improving patients’ understanding of diagnostics and treatment, while emphasizing face-to-face interactions. A team of healthcare professionals, promoting an integrated approach combining manual and movement therapies—such as physiotherapy, chiropractic, and osteopathic care—can bridge this gap, promoting well-being through a person-centered framework. Emerging research highlights the role of cognitive, neurophysiological, and sociocultural factors in body perception and health, emphasizing the need for inclusive, culturally sensitive care within osteopathic practice. Methods: We synthesize the available evidence and expert insights to address gaps in the literature. Our approach integrates conceptual analysis with emerging research, applying Driscoll’s reflective model to generate a practical framework rooted in osteopathic principles and clinical experiences. Results: We propose an integrative model incorporating narrative-based sense-making, shared decision-making, mindfulness, and active participation. By blending historical osteopathic principles with modern evidence, the model aims to enhance health resilience, reduce unnecessary interventions, and establish a holistic framework for prevention and rehabilitation. Conclusions: Integrating diverse approaches within osteopathic care refines clinical practices, ensuring a more person-centered, culturally sensitive, and holistic approach to musculoskeletal rehabilitation. This model bridges the gap between tradition and modern evidence, enhancing therapeutic outcomes and fostering an inclusive healthcare system.
