Abstract
Quality of life assessment is an important aspect of clinical medicine that allows a comprehensive evaluation of the patient's condition. This method is increasingly being used for comprehensive patient assessment and presents an opportunity to change the way diseases and patients are viewed by using information obtained directly from patients to analyze problems related to their disease and treatment. Quality of life assessment in osteopathy is considered an integral part of the patient-oriented approach, complementing the holistic nature of osteopathy, which considers mechanical, hydrodynamic, and neural functions in unity. The findings indicate a significant improvement in physical and psychological well-being after osteopathic treatment, emphasizing its effectiveness in improving quality of life.
