Description

"Philosophy of Osteopathy" delves into the principles and foundations of osteopathic medicine.

This insightful work explores the interconnectedness of the body's structure and function, advocating for a natural and non-invasive approach to promoting health and vitality.

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.
