Abstract


This article examines the background to the emergence and development of osteopathy. We analyse specific features of attitudes to manual methods of treatment, and identify key aspects of the development of osteopathy. We describe the circumstances in which the world’s first school of osteopathy opened in Kirksville in 1892. We note that osteo-pathy was criticised at the end of the nineteenth century, while the institutionalisation of the theory and practice of this area of medicine should be regarded as starting 1936 when the General Council and Register of Osteopaths was established in the UK. We point out the specific features of the growth of osteopathy in Russia since 1988 when American osteopath Viola Frymann gave the first public lecture on the topic in Leningrad. We provide lists of expe-rimental and clinical studies and scientific publications in the field of osteopathy. We examine the origins of struc-tured training in osteopathy in Russia in 1992 when the first osteopathic centre (the Children’s Osteopathic Centre)was registered in Saint Petersburg. We present a number of findings on the regulation of osteopathy as a specialist field of medicine and education in Russia in 2012‒2021. Finally, we draw conclusions on the specific features of the development of osteopathy in Russia in modern times.
