Hope to stay limber - using this? (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

osteopathy

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'this?' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'hope to stay limber' is the wordplay.
'hope to stay' anagrams to 'OSTEOPATHY'.
However, I am not clear how this is indicated.

'using' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for osteopathy that I've seen before include "treatment" , "form of therapy" .)
