Our aims

The Norwegian Association of Osteopathy is working for:

An authorisation of the title osteopath, and to be regulated under the Norwegian Health Personnel Law. Then the title osteopath will be a legally protected professional title. This is in the interest of the patients and will protect the concept of osteopathic philosophy, diagnosis and treatment.

NOF is working towards establishing osteopathy in Norway as an independent profession.

NOF is working with issues raised by and concerning our members.

NOF is working with the continuous development of the highest standards of academic and ethical standards through educational training and research.

NOF is working toward a public acceptance and recognition of osteopathy as treatment and how it is functioning.
