Suffering from a foot injury that was progressively getting worse, I reluctantly sought allopathic care. “World renown” local clinic couldn’t see me for a month! I looked into traveling to a larger city’s stand alone orthopedic clinic. Instead I found a competing allopathic medical system closer to home with an apt that week. Visit was as usual: X-ray, (no breaks found) meds and shot offered, and brace. I declined. The Dr insisted on PT, made a call -set me up.
When I left the FIRST PT apt I was 90% healed! Unbeknownst to me, I was blessed with a practitioner who solely utilized Fascial Counter Strain because of remarkable results. It is extremely gentle and has restored my aging feet to BETTER than what they were, improved my balance and other tight areas around my body. God has designed our bodies with amazing abilities. I’m thanking Him for practitioners who listen with their whole being. Look up the Jones Institute for more info.
I learned more in reading this article than I learned in 4 years of working as a medical librarian at an Osteopathic Hospital. Now I understand. That was 30 years ago, where do I find a classically trained DO in this day and age?
The world needs healers like you! I need a healer like you! 😉😂 How can I locate someone near Boise Idaho that has your gifts? Have you ever thought about training others and letting this gift flow further? I imagine that would be incredibly difficult; but wish this kind of healing was affordable and available to those suffering from decades of allopathic treatment. Thank you for your service to others! ✨💕🙏💕✨
Thank you Drew. Will keep that in my awareness. Previous experiences only did the heat and crack or just the crack. So didn’t receive the full benefits… 🤪 ✨💕🙏💕✨
Thank you , most are probably retired. Taught my entire career and watched the resident “inquisitiveness “ change over the years for sure . No more osteopathic techniques in triage , emergency department or office anymore .
Could you write a book perhaps? Know I am asking for a lot. Just really want this valuable information and practice to survive and thrive. I wish we could attend a short seminar and leave with tools to utilize in our own lives on each other in community. Bring healing back into our own hands . Granted, I know this is probably a pipe dream. As what you know took a lifetime of learning and living…. Thank You. ✨💕🙏💕✨
I wanted to be an Osteopath, but, I was groomed to be a nurse. It never felt true to me. I comforted myself with thoughts of bringing comfort to others. After a Med/Surg gig, I worked maternity, these women were healthy and bringing life into the world. Eventually I found something magnificent to do, I became a lactation consultant. A pretty good fit! What could be more natural? The sabotage was relentless. Other nurses, the formula reps, the doctors, The institutions! Insane. Then I enter the NICU. As the lactation nurse I had unrestricted access. My world and my life changed forever. These little fighters, these magnificent creations who needed me, medicine made sense for the first time in my life. I stayed there 20 years. In last five there entered a bit of turmoil. The ptsd finally happened and I realized that vaccines were killers. (that’s a subject for another day). So at 59 I retired. I still miss being so intricately involved in the science and privilege of caring for people. But I wanted to be an Osteopath!
In this two minute excerpt from a recent interview, Christof Plothe D.O., a German Osteopath, tells of how modern synthetic field (EMF) exposures destroy the ability to trace the inherent rhythmic motility through the fascia: https://youtu.be/LSkE_R1oQ84
“Andrew Weil, the Harvard-trained physician, wrote that if medicine is to realign with great healing traditions, it must rediscover the truths that Fulford expresses.¹¹”
He is very pro-vaccine, for all ages. He himself needs a full-throttle re-education, as vaccines are harming traditions, not healing traditions.
I remember my mother taking me to see a DO probably close to 60 years ago. I don’t remember why she took me. But I do remember the “hands on” approach. I never saw him again. But I was left with a positive impression that has never left me. I recently sought out several DOs, hoping for something different from the usual allopathic treatments. This explains why I saw no difference. Sad.
DO school has changed dramatically in the last 20 years sad to say… the merger with the ACGME has ruined the profession and the art of medical care and education.
Are you a DO, or a PT? You sound like you are practicing closer to the original osteopathy concepts. You are the needle in the haystack. It's tough to find true sensitive practitioners out there. I live in a town/small city that is practically owned by the university here and they run all the medical centers in the area so it's all one size fits all(that doesn't fit most).
A fascinating story. It's just amazing that Still was so aware at that time period. He was a real pioneer to find an entirely different way to view the body and disease. All that he was missing was the energetic awareness. He had the idea of blockage right but hadn't apparently considered energetic blockages as the Chinese knew or the manifesting of illness due to emotional and spiritual causes. I'm sad to read that the US osteopaths have morphed into primarily being allopaths. I've found a couple gifted chiropractors that were sensitive to body movements like the cranial sacral movements but the majority are just running on autopilot--a quick twist/poke on the table and out the door(or maybe they hook you up to some machine for 10 minutes after the twist). They lack the sensitivity you describe in this article and because they aren't interested in developing it, never will.
It's partly because of insurance companies that require a specific code for reimbursement as well as the need to get patients in and out the door in 10 minutes in today's business model. There is so much over-head(paperwork needed for billing) and following approved protocols to avoid lawsuits. It's understandable that anyone attempting real healing work is pushed out. The real healers are out there but I doubt you'll find them working at a "medical center".
Cash is the great equalizers in healthcare. No CPT codes, no rush, and no dictation of treatment by a middleman (insurance or management). Unfortunately, 99% of the population will not even consider paying out of pocket.
Right you are. Paying cash would also be great incentive to take one's own health seriously rather than letting some guy in a white coat do it for you. I've know plenty of folks that take their kids immediately to the doctor at the first sign of a sniffle. Gotta get that prescription fast.
Doc Malik interviewed Bob Moran, (#304 episode, paywall) where Moran speaks of a baby (his own) that was not able to crawl correctly (the baby's arms were chafed badly from dragging the arms on the floor instead of normal crawling). Moran said the first Osteopath was not skilled (ie a 'modern' Osteopath) and did nothing for the baby. The second Osteopath he found was able to, with minor manipulations, fix the babies crawling to normal in minutes. Moran said it was the closest thing to a medical miracle he had ever seen. We (and he) know it was not a miracle, but point taken; a testimony to the power of well trained, hands on 'old guard' Osteopaths. Thanks for this post, Unbekoming.
On the fascia front, Bob Cooley has also done practical work on fascia and healing, identifying sixteen fascial meridians and also linking them to TCM.
I have enjoyed the services of manual osteopathy since 2016 in Red Deer, Alberta. There are actually quite a few manual osteopaths in Alberta. I've always thought of it as magic. I did not understand how an hour spent with a manual osteopath could create such an enormous improvement in my health. This article has provided an insight into this therapy model. I now understand that I need to see my manual osteopath regularly to keep things in my body flowing properly. Thank you!!
The modern stone medical mafia ignores the body as it eases you into your demise using poison and toxic vaccines and drugs. After they have sucked your wallet dry, they walk up to you and give you the kiss of death.
as is already happening in Canada. I read a few days ago UK is going to allow abortion right up to birth, can you believe it. How dare they call themselves doctors if they kill? Someone who kills for money is a hired murderer.
The only healthcare discipline that did not sell out to the allopaths are chiropractors. In reality, circulation (osteopathy), nerves (chiropractic), and the remaining systems need to work in concert for optimal health.
A peer-reviewed study from 25 years ago was definitive in best outcomes from adjustments combined with therapeutic exercises and it was a 1+1=3 synergy.
If we're going to consider anatomy, then a detailed exposition of the pedagogy of fascia and a detailed understanding of its a structure/function relationships is required.
Moreover, Sutherland is said to have inspected the squamous portion of the temporal bone and concluded that because it had the appearance of the gill of fish, it must be associated with 'respiration' - hence the hypothesis of the "primary respiratory mechanism" was born.
In science, facts acquired through observation lead to induced reasoning and to laws/theories. Deduction then leads to predictions and explanation. Oddly, Sutherland appears to travel in the opposite direction, which is not unlike the imaginary contagious pathogenic particles considered as virions, exosomes and viruses that furnish the teetering edifice of virology.
On the other hand, some discussion of extra-cranial motion may arguably be considered as Traube-Hering-Mayer waves (https://www.tensegrityinbiology.co.uk/publications/traube-hering-mayer-waves/) Studies endeavouring to ascertain practitioner concordance in respect to these extra-cranial palpatory findings have failed to demonstrate inter and intra-observer reliability and also beg the question of the confounding phasic interaction between the patient and practitioner.
Therefore, there appear herds of sacred clinical cows roaming the intellectual fields of uncertainty, while rigid thinking and adherence to dogma is as alive and well in osteopathy, chiropractic and physiotherapy as it appears in allopathy.
In the meantime, US osteopathic medicine has been thoroughly perverted by the BigPharma owned and sponsored FSMB (https://www.fsmb.org/about-fsmb/fsmb-leadership/) and its international collective, the International Association of Medical Regulatory Authorities (https://www.iamra.com/Board-of-Directors). Through the 'Physician Information Exchange' (PIE) mechanism, they track/trace/monitor/control physicians almost everywhere. Resistance is futile and deviation prohibited.
Likewise, adherents of osteopathy elsewhere have similarly lost much of their distinctiveness as physical healthcare has become increasingly discipline blurred while deviation from germ, contagion and jab narratives is thoroughly and rigorously censured by officialdom.
Medicine, surgery and healthcare in its many forms now appear as a hollowed out materialistic shell.
Follow the money, plain and simple. It’s sad that the goal in traditional medicine is to keep patients dependent on pharmaceutical and surgical services and treatments where the profits are. Some things such as ruptured appendix, stroke, heart attack require emergency intervention, but these things could largely be prevented to begin with by incorporating a more osteopathic approach in general, primary-care settings.

As a close alternative, find a Chiropractor who can adjust well and also address the soft tissue issues with stretching, massage and rehab exercises.
Thank you Drew. Will keep that in my awareness. Previous experiences only did the heat and crack or just the crack. So didn’t receive the full benefits… 🤪 ✨💕🙏💕✨
Then consider DC, massage and learn the rehab exercises from a PT.
Thank you , most are probably retired. Taught my entire career and watched the resident “inquisitiveness “ change over the years for sure . No more osteopathic techniques in triage , emergency department or office anymore .

😱 what a tragic world we have made.

True healers of any type are a dying breed. Everything is flowchart medicine nowadays.

In many ways, this article could be talking about the origins of, and the healing with, homeopathy.

The sphenobasilar synchondrosis becomes a synostosis by 18 yrs...movement therefore palpable intracranial motion appears highly unlikely. Its reliability, let alone validity still requires establishment. (https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S1746068914001217).
