I cant seem to find any google hits in English for "Gesture approach", or "gestural approach/method". Was wondering about "manipulation method", but feel uncertain if this is quite the same thing.

Are there any experts in this field who could help?

Gestuelle is also used as a noun and does involve manipulation techniques. Maybe someone will think of a better solution.

I'm going to suggest "manual approach," because I think it fits your context.

http://prairietherapy.ca/osteopathic-therapy-calgary/
The Osteopathic Manual Therapist uses a wide array of manual approaches to reduce and resolve strains, stress and dysfunction in all areas of the body. The goal is to remove restrictions to vascular, neural and biomechanical mechanisms and ultimately support the natural healing mechanism by promoting auto regulation.
Patients of all ages, from babies to the elderly can benefit from Osteopathic Manual Therapy.
Note from asker:
Yes, I do think it is a more "technical concept" associated with the "approche palpatoire", very tricky to translate....
I have just found this on google, "Osteopathic manipulative medicine is a hands-on approach to patient care that employs manual techniques" so maybe my other comment was incorrect!

disagree Victoria Britten : I don't think so: surely all of osteopathy is "hands-on", which what's more is both non-specific and mostly used metaphorically

osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT)

Hello

"Manipulative" is correct but "manipulative approach" is ambiguous in English. I believe that "approche" here is best replaced with "technique".
