Many of my friends have been anxious ever since Osteopathy became an established fact, that I should write a treatise on the science. But I was never convinced that the time was ripe for such a production, nor am I even now convinced that this is not a little premature. Osteopathy is only in its infancy, it is a great unknown sea just discovered, and as yet we are only acquainted with its shore-tide. When I saw others who had not more than skimmed the surface of the science, taking up the pen to write books on Osteopathy, and after having carefully examined their productions, found they were drinking from the fountains of old schools of drugs, dragging back the science to the very systems from which I divorced myself so many years ago, and realized that hungry students were ready to swallow such mental poison, dangerous as it was, I became fully awakened to the necessity of some sort of Osteopathic literature for those wishing to be informed. This book is free from quotations from medical authors, and differs from them in opinion on almost every important question. I do not expect it to meet their approval; such a thing would be unnatural and impossible. It is my object in this work to teach principles as I understand them, and not rules. I do not instruct the student to punch or pull a certain bone, nerve or muscle for a certain disease, but by a knowledge of the normal and abnormal, I hope to give a specific knowledge for all diseases.

I will start from the bottom, Osteopathy is not a Science, not today nor in 22nd June 1874 when Andrew Still proclaimed. For us Osteopathy it is good manual therapy sustained on anatomical and physiological science, implementation of that knowledge it is also an art.
The creation of Osteopathy broke some usual perspectives on medical treatment, we suggest looking for the paradigm of body concepts that determine differences between them. For A. Still the body is a perfection made by god (we can assume Nature) with all the inner capacities to function and to heal, although with proper manual intervention focused on vascular, excretory/visceral, limphathic and neurologic systems, contrary to the claimed paradigm of the British osteopathy more focused on articulations and nerve impingement. Then muscle-skeletal were not the principal structures to grasp on the osteopathic therapeutic as defined to Still no mater the images and photographs currently published of the founder grabbing bones. So A. Still indicated the suitability of his manual therapy to cure measles, flux, cough, diphtheria, fevers, and other diseases, much of the effort applied to children. A. Still was also a great defender of human rights, ethnic respect and woman care, specially on delivery and obstetric care, achieving more than 500 births without complications by osteopathic methods. The duty of a an osteopath was to identify in a body which aspects were straining the fluidity, particularly arterial blood circulation and visceral organ excretion. The frame is to locate the obstruction and remove, that is undoubtedly is major (and only) axiom, philosophical principles of osteopathy are no more than this. Disease it is a result of dysfunction of body homeostasis so it is only an effect or secondary product, the osteopath is focused on the primary cause, what were going wrong in fluid and blood supply within visceral organs to disease arise.
Some current medical allopathic state-of-the art contenders like Cochrane association denies that manual therapy possess capabilities and evidence based answers as an qualified health player. The body is an imperfect organism that can be ameliorated or tweaked by oral drugs, equipments, or mathematical exercise routines binding health with material progress. For Osteopathy the body is perfect and complete within its physiological capabilities and evolution process (stagnated), for a allopathic perspective the body is a tool to explore and execute the positivism and progress. So the levels of respect towards the body are different. For osteopathy the overall response and the integrity of the body are hallmarks, the specialization it is the whole human body with their parts and their interrelatedness, without compromising its integrity otherwise in allopathic the need to find answers in the infinitesimal scale grounded in the deterministic premise and quantification, divides the body on hermetic compartments with harsh collective interaction.
How much detail is enough? Where little is to little to cause a symptom? Technical specialization is like a babel tower people are so focused on their own areas of study that they loose insight of the others with artificial boundaries on patient health state interrelatedness. So there is always diclofenac, antibiotics, anti-depressants or in worst cases, alperidol, corticosteroids and morphine. This different views of body as a tool versus the body as a complete and perfect system conduces to the study of diseases in pathofisiology and to the development of disease sciences like psychiatric and oncology, there is no cure, there is no substances or equipment that cure but there is a clinical construct that enhances hope and technological triumph for the patients affected. By no mean we want to criticize the health professionals our focus it is only indicating the epistemic of the ill oriented medicine, and as a whole some medicine considers is action and theoretical construct intellectually superior than the human biological complexity.
Disease gives sustainability to the health industry, more diseases more medications, more equipments, and that is good for business, so the allopathic frame is to dominate the material and psychic body, a catalog of diseases is fine, the quantification is perfect, the selling is awesome, for sure wealth is not same as health and expensive and industrial therapeutic response it is not synonymous of better response.
An Osteopath looks to a body like a perfect and finished system. No doubt the degeneration of age progression does not help, but if people are alive their homeostasis are clearly gaining. Our potatoes, onions, and vegetables are alive in our fridge or store division before cooking, when a ninety years old comes to our clinical practice the first thing we think is what wonderful mind and body he has to achieve that age! Much older patients were told by allopathic doctors that they have pain because they are old…
The osteopathic action pretend identify and resolve the major constrain on a body, allopathic action try to identify a disease on the body, the osteopath treats the cause of body dysfunction the allopatic the disease, if there is some pain on cecum surgery will be the best answer, if it is some problem with any visceral organ for an allopathic perspective the option is dissect and destroy (as if it was not an necessary organ), they take colon off, spleen off, thyroid off, prostate off, etc…
The body must be struggled, smashed, the viscera and the diseases are considered the same entity so it must be attacked and divided to pieces to restore health. Allopathic medicine extract or destroy structurally important visceral components that critically sustain body health. Pain it is not related with disease, otherwise both are effects for a vascular visceral dysfunction. Pain it is expressed by neurologic system warning the mind and body that something it is not proper functioning. What does the allopathic medicine do? Fight the pain, eliminate the algia during the half-life of the painkillers. Although the brain can overlap the painkiller effect constituting nodes of pain signals on 3,1,2 Broddman sensitive zone and other brain areas conducing to hyperalgesia even allodynia melted on a chronic state. This last process it is a struggle between homeostasis and narcotic abuse of the body. The body knowledge of dysfunctions if overwhelmed can arise a much worst result. Osteopathy therapeutic does not confront homeostasis, nor body integrity, so the neurological system is preserved.

Philosophy of Osteopathy A T 9788826408163 Books Reviews

Thank you
Great book teaching principles and philosophy of osteopathy.
A good read so far.
Anyone who realizes Dr. Still's mission and realizes how brilliant Dr. Still was, NEEDS this book.
This book is written by the late Dr. Andrew Taylor Still, founder of Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine (OMM). It provides insight on Dr. Still's views of the human body and his philosophy on medicine. I found the book quite interesting, but since it was written quite a while ago (sometime in the 1800s) the book is a bit obtuse in its structure and vernacular. This is just due to the time period in which the book was written, but it does make extracting the necessary information out of the book quite a challenge. I would recommend this book to people for its historical significance and anyone looking for something to read on OMM by Dr. Still. For anyone looking to read a more accessible introduction to OMM, I highly recommend reading The DOs Osteopathic Medicine in America, as it is much more current and provides an excellent overview of not only the history of OMM but its current state today.
This book is very boring, but if you have any interest in osteopathic medicine, it's great to read this, written by the father of osteopathic medicine himself. There IS an entire chapter on ear wax. What more could you want?
They say the core of mastery to any calling is understanding its philosophy. When the philosophy is understood and absorbed, the mechanics and systems flow in smoothly. I found this to be true.

This is a book I enjoyed immensely. Granted, the reading can get slow at times, but that's not an issue of content but of its delivery. It takes a few pages to get acquainted with the old-school English, rich with long sentences and a syntax I seldom see. But once you get used to the pace, you'll get a prime seat to view the mind of Dr. A.T. Still. His therapeutic principles are as true now, as they were back then. The amazing part is how he uses his gift of analogy to help understand how some of the conventional approaches are actually opposite to our innate healing mechanisms.

Cherished by osteopaths and fascial-counterstrainers, the principles dictated will help you get a new, or deeper, insight at the application of manual therapy.
