Abstract in brief

  • This paper proposes that osteopathic care can be understood through the lens of enactive inference, a framework that focuses on how individuals actively minimize uncertainty in their interactions with the environment to maintain health and wellbeing.
  • It emphasizes the importance of the dynamic relationship between the patient and practitioner, where shared intentionality and engagement with environmental affordances help promote adaptation, healing, and a sense of agency across different ages and health conditions.
  • Touch and shared narrative are highlighted as crucial elements in building therapeutic relationships and synchronizing mental and biological states between patient and osteopath, facilitating better health outcomes.
