These include autoimmune diseases, neuroinflammatory disorders, metabolic syndrome and musculoskeletal complaints. Nutrition, lifestyle factors, perinatal imprinting and environmental conditions have a significant influence on the integrity of the intestinal barrier and the diversity of the microbiome. Certain food components such as lectins, gluten or highly processed carbohydrates can increase intestinal permeability, while a varied diet rich in fibre and fermentable foods has a protective effect.</div><div>In osteopathic medicine, viewing the intestine as a functional centre opens up a relevant therapeutic field.

However, in addition to few publications on GOT, there have only been a small number of studies with low evidence to date. Nevertheless, the GOT not only offers current and future osteopaths the opportunity to reflect on the history of their own methods, but also provides them with a diagnostic and therapeutic variation that enables the ideas of the „founding fathers of osteopathy” A.T.
