How have cultural and historical shifts over the 133-year lifetime of Osteopathy changed the clinical practice of our profession? We all recognize that the Osteopathic practice has evolved since 1892—but our patients have changed as well. Robert Fulford, DO once said, “Patients were a lot easier to treat before World War II.” We will explore how more recent cultural events and social upheavals have changed the patient population and therefore, have changed the way we practice clinical Osteopathy.

Osteopathy has the extraordinary power to address clinical situations in a novel way and create seemingly miraculous outcomes. As DOs, we think of these remarkable treatment responses as everyday occurrences. But patients often want and believe an Osteopathic Treatment to be miraculous. True healing has its own pace and tempo. Therapeutic responses are the prerogative of the patient—not the Osteopath. Listen and join us as we explore the complexities of healing in Osteopathy and The Myth of the Single Treatment Miracle.

Do we give the patient what they want or do we give the patient what they need? The answer to this question is in this episode. We explore the interpersonal value of always touching the body part involved in the patient’s chief concern. And because we are Osteopaths, we need to determine if this pain is cause or effect. Fundamentally, the connection that happens between two people when the area of suffering is touched, happens at a deep and profound level.

How we care for ourselves, or how we ignore our wellbeing, influences the way we care for others. How can we encourage and teach our patients to care for themselves if we don’t do that for ourselves? How do we model self-care to the young Osteopathic students that we teach?

In this episode, we take a dive into exploring the possibilities of why and how as Osteopath we might want to seriously consider choosing to be cared for by one of our colleagues.

Is “release,” a valid and helpful term in Osteopathy? Or is the whole idea of release an oversimplified illusion?

In this episode we explore The Four Tenets of Osteopathic Medicine and ask if they are truly distinctive to Osteopathy, or are merely good foundational principles for anyone in healthcare. AT Still had nothing to with these tenets. They were created by a committee of the AOA in 1953.

This is one of the FREE Foundational Episodes, along with Episodes 1-6 and 12.

This episode presents a new concept that Bonnie adapted from her Continuum practice, The Four Anatomies of Osteopathic Perception: personal, cultural, biological and cosmic. Developing awareness of these viewpoints can enrich Osteopathic perception as well as clinical diagnosis and treatment.
