Osteopathic contribution and recognition of the osteopathic profession in Belgium
Osteopathy in Belgium
In Belgium, osteopathy is recognized but not yet fully regulated at federal level. The title of osteopath is not protected by law, which means that regulation can vary, and recognition of the profession often depends on professional associations. Osteopaths in Belgium are generally required to undergo specific training in accredited establishments, with programs aligned with international standards.
Osteopaths can practice in private clinics, independent practices or in collaboration with other health professionals. However, public health insurance coverage of osteopathic care is limited. Patients often have to pay for consultations out of their own pocket, although some private insurers may offer partial or full coverage.
