Abstract

An anonymous sociologic inquiry of 415 osteopathic physicians patients was carried out in St. Petersburg. It was found that a typical osteopaths patient is a woman 30-49 years old, high educated education, employee. Patients have a correct idea of osteopathy. Most patients trust in the osteopathic method, and plan to continue using it. One third of them is completely satisfied with the treatment, and 64,5 % are satisfied with the osteopathic physicians attitude to them.
