As part of the journey towards becoming a qualified and practising osteopathic practitioner, students are required to undertake a small research project. While many projects are directly related to osteopathy and involve osteopathic treatments, other studies may be more exploratory and involve studies about pain, perceptions of well being, exercise, breathing, life as a new family etc...
