At the Still Point of the Turning World


Book Description

The healing arts involve a complex range of skills which each practitioner draws together in a unique way. These skills, attitudes and perspectives complement the scientific basis underpinning each discipline to create the wisdom and artistry of any therapeutic approach. The practice of osteopathy is no exception. It involves a growing field of scientific knowledge in physics and biology that couples with an extraordinary range of human qualities to give the work depth, as well as relevance, and which can be tailored to the individual patient holistically and with compassion. At the Still Point of the Turning World examines and explores both the art and the science of osteopathy through the eyes and approach of a devoted teacher and practitioner. The true value of holism, vitalism and osteopathic principles are discussed as part of the approach that each practitioner brings to the patient/practitioner relationship.




Osteopathy


Book Description

Learn about the science that revolutionized 20th century medicine from the founder himself! Andrew Taylor Still liberated his practice from traditional, then futile, medicine. Having prescribed drugs for years and found them of more harm than benefit, he resorted to engineering principles and treated the human body as one magnificent machine, founding the science of osteopathy and the first school of osteopathic medicine in the world. "Osteopathy is the natural way by which all the diseases can be relieved." Writes Still, explaining that restoring natural blood flow through manipulation of muscle tissue and bone is the only remedy the body needs. His theories are supported by evidence from his personal experience. "I will give no undemonstrable theory." Whether you're a medical student, practitioner, or nurse who wants to have unconventional tricks up their sleeve to relieve their patients, a history student studying the development of medical practice, or a curious reader who's passionate to know about 20th century pioneering methods in medicine, this book is all you need to understand the basics of osteopathy, and you don't need to be familiar with medical terminology. "I have written as far as possible in the plainest language."










The Practice and Applied Therapeutics of Osteopathy


Book Description

Excerpt from The Practice and Applied Therapeutics of Osteopathy: Revised Since the publication of the second edition of this work, the growth and progress of Osteopathy have been marked, and it has been the aim of the author to have these pages reflect those virile characteristics of the Science. He has made an earnest endeavor to add to his previous work as much as possible that would be of value to the profession. The work has been rewritten in many parts, and much new matter has been added throughout, considerably enlarging the volume. The same considerations that before led to the omission from these pages of the facts of pathology, symptomatology, etc., which the student finds useful in his studies, but which are so available from other sources, were still deemed sufficient. But the continued demand for a compact work upon this subject, of moderate price, and devoted exclusively to osteopathic considera tions seems to warrant the bringing out of this further edition.
