About the Business
The primary osteopathic tool, in both diagnosis and treatment is the highly skilled sense of touch of the osteopath's hands, known as palpation. Palpation (not to be confused with palpitation) is the highly trained and practised sense of touch, a hallmark of the osteopath.
It is known that we obtain information about the world through our five senses: sight, sound, touch, taste and smell. It is known also that we can train these senses, as a wine or tea taster trains the sense of taste, a perfumer trains the sense of smell, or a musician trains the ear. In the same way, from the outset of their training, osteopaths develop their sense of touch, to be able to feel information that is not readily experienced by the untrained hand. These all are primary senses, which cannot be described, only compared with itself or another sense.
