Osteopathy  and osteopaths shouldn't be confused with the legitimate and licensed medical practice of osteopathic doctor. It is a pseudo science and alternative medicine.

I was going to say "how appropriate, I had a session with my Osteopath today." In Australia to be an Osteopath you have to complete an approved qualification and be registered with the Australian Health Practitioners Registration Agency so I assume he is the equivalent of the American Osteopathic Doctor. Oh and, I actually did have a session with my Osteopath.
