The lemniscata, represented by the infinity symbol (∞), is used in osteopathy as a metaphor for the harmonious flow of energy throughout the body. This concept highlights the importance of blockage-free mobility and interaction between body structures to maintain an optimal state of health.

The Primary Respiratory Mechanism (PRM) is one of the key concepts in osteopathy. It refers to a subtle rhythmic movement present in the body and is composed of five essential elements, such as the mobility of the cranial bones, the movement of the sacrum between the iliacs, and the rhythmic fluctuations of the body fluids, such as the cerebrospinal fluid. This movement is considered fundamental for bodily health, and its alteration can cause pain or dysfunction.

Motility is the inherent and proper movement of organs and tissues, distinct from voluntary or mechanical movements.

A restriction in this motility can generate functional dysfunctions, which the osteopath can correct through specific manipulations.
