Osteopathy: a system of medical practice based on a theory that diseases are due chiefly to loss of structural integrity which can be restored by manipulation of the parts supplemented by therapeutic measures (as use of drugs or surgery)
Thank you Merriam-Webster. Merriam-Webster, n.d. Web. 14 Oct. 2014.
That was a mouthful. Pretty much an osteopath is someone who pushes and massages bones and muscles to treat diseases.
In Zaat (pg 190) "Dr. Abdel Basset Ahmed Youssef, osteopath at Qous General Hospital...[talks about what failing condition his hospital is in."
