AT STILL – considered to be the founder of Osteopathy
At Still was a great observer of the body and its responses to healing. His thoughts are just as relevant as today’s thinking:
- The human body functions as a total biologic unit
- The body possesses self-healing and self-regulatory mechanisms
- Structure and function are interrelated, and
- Abnormal pressure in one part of the body produces abnormal pressures and strains upon other parts of the body
