Description

"Philosophy of Osteopathy" by Andrew Still presents the foundational principles of osteopathic medicine, emphasizing the body's natural ability to heal itself. Through detailed examination, Still advocates for a holistic approach that focuses on the interrelationship between the body's structure and function. He outlines techniques that enhance health by ensuring the unobstructed flow of bodily fluids and promoting structural harmony. This seminal work lays the groundwork for osteopathy, championing preventive care and natural healing.

Author

Andrew Taylor Still (1828–1917) founded osteopathy and wrote Philosophy of Osteopathy, setting out a medicine of structure, motion, and the body's own resources. A frontier physician who broke with orthodox practice after the Civil War, Still argued that health is a mechanical and vital whole. The book remains a root text of that American school of healing.
