For Chinese medicine the liver is a source of rage. After experiencing a liver infection while traveling in India and a bought of rage while being treated months later in France, he began asking himself where this rage came from. He traced it back to his early childhood. As a French Osteopath he now treats children with emotional disorders. As he places his hands on them, he puts his intention on the entanglement of the mind – body – and spirit. He has learned how emotions from the past may be held in the body and released later sometimes through osteopathic treatments. Enjoy this conversation as we learn from Laurent about perceiving the mind – body – and spirit through our hands and helping our patient’s reach Stillness.

to open up about their lives and heal from their pain. Through her eyes OMM is much more than a medical treatment, it makes more empathetic physicians who create a level of comfort and confidence with their patient’s. Enjoy this conversation with a special physician leader, educator and President of the AAO Millicent Channell, DO.   

In this conversation we spoke about the Center for Neuromusculoskeletal Center for Research at MSU. As practitioners who use OMT, we do not simply improve joint mobility, release muscle and fascial tension. We also engage the central nervous system of the person we are treating. This interaction and feedback system is quite difficult to measure. What about other tests such as the stork test, the standing and seated flexion test, how do these work and what

information do they give us? There is no question many patients’ benefit from the work we do. At the same time, it is easy to not be intellectually curious

and challenge our treatment techniques when patients are getting better and praising our work. On the flip side what about those patients that did not get

better or fell off our schedule. What did we do wrong, why was it not helpful? Perhaps Osteopathic Neuromusculoskeletal Medicine is one of the best kept secrets in medicine. Part of the goal of this podcast is to expose this secret, but there is much groundwork we need to do to better quantify our work, but at this point in time not all of it seems to be quantifiable. Enjoy this conversation with Dr. Clarence Nicodemus, DO.

He has been practicing medicine for 40 years and has had as a career goal that of bringing the spirituality of the person into mainstream medicine. He specifies this is not a religious experience per se, but a realization we are more than body. He has dedicated his career to studying this phenomenon. For Dr. King the mind is the mental, emotion and psychological experience of the person. The spirit is the attitude or perspective with which one goes through life.  He says, moving the joints, muscles and tendons is easy, the challenge for the osteopath is figuring out how to keep it there. Enjoy this pensive conversation with Dr. Hollis King, DO with many conceptual and clinical pearls!

Enjoy this round table discussion about how osteopathy is different from modern wester medicine in its philosophical approach to human health.

She describes herself as curious, creative and caring with the strength of gentleness. Dr. Dijamco wants to bring the intuitive aspects of medicine back to

health; those aspects of health which are less tangible. She has the goal of teaching other healthcare professionals how to incorporate the mental, emotion

and spiritual aspects of human health into their practice. As human beings we are bone, fluid, membrane, but we’re also intellect, emotion and spirit. The

human experience is all of these and because of this she addresses the patient from the perspective of the mind, body and spirit. Enjoy this conversation as we

learn a true holistic approach to personal health.

He is a lover of the fine arts and is a performing artist himself. He learned how to care for this population from Dr. Richard Bachrach a renowned Performing Arts Medicine physician who cared for many Broadway artists and other artists in Manhattan. This opened his eyes to a need in medicine - taking care of performing artists. We benefit from the talents of artists but who is going to take care of them and their many use overuse injuries. This realization led Dr. Surve and his team to establish the first Performing Arts Fellowship in the world at UNTHSC. Enjoy this conversation as we learn about Performing Arts
