WOHW 2025: Supporting Healthy Aging Through Osteopathy
World Osteopathic Healthcare Week (WOHW) 2025, will highlight the role of osteopathic care in healthy aging.
According to the World Health Organization, the global population of individuals aged 60 and older is expected to reach 1.4 billion by 2030 and 2.1 billion by 2050. This demographic shift will place significant demands on healthcare systems, leading to:
✔️ Increased need for healthcare services
✔️ Strains on infrastructure and workforce shortages
✔️ Rising healthcare costs
✔️ A shift towards preventative and integrated care models
Osteopathic professionals will play a key role in meeting these challenges by providing holistic, patient-centered care. Our expertise allows us to detect and monitor early health changes, provide treatment or referrals when necessary, and contribute to multidisciplinary healthcare teams focused on supporting mobility, agility, and overall well-being in the aging population.
At the heart of osteopathy is a commitment to integrated, person-centered primary healthcare across all stages of life. Through a combination of:
🔹 Evidence-based advice and education
🔹 Tailored exercises
🔹 Hands-on osteopathic treatment
We aim to enhance mobility, flexibility, comfort, and functionality, empowering older adults to enjoy an active, high-quality life well into retirement and beyond.
