Abstract
In this study spirituality in osteopathic practice was perceived to be reflected in a holistic approach to illness and wellbeing, facilitated by the therapeutic relationship. The therapeutic relationship was seen to be influenced through a sense of interconnectedness, the role of touch and intuitive insights. We conclude that respondents identify a spiritual dimension in osteopathic practice, which served to support a holistic approach, and influence positive outcomes.
