Cover Story: The Italian government has started the regulatory process of osteopathy to include it among the healthcare professions mentioning terms such as “perceptual palpation” and “somatic dysfunction” in the professional profile. Palpatory findings are one of the aspects that can inform osteopathic clinical reasoning. The aim of this study was to investigate how Italian experts use palpatory findings in their practice. A qualitative inductive approach with a constructivist paradigm was chosen. The themes that emerged were: osteopathic identity, evaluation, osteopathic diagnosis, and sharing. Participants concurred regarding the distinctiveness of osteopathic palpation, but disagreed on the significance of the findings, highlighting a multidimensional clinical approach. The results reflect the quick evolution of the profession in Italy, which leads professionals to blend tradition and evidence. View this paper
