Chapter 22 – The foot
I want to find whatever is abnormal and bring it back to normal. I don’t look for a loss of mobility, even though it is part of the landscape. Think about a foot and all the tiny bones that form it. Yes, let’s talk about the foot. This morning I saw a patient for a…

Chapter 21 – Motion and life
Movement of the arm, and movements of the joints that allow the arm to move. If I think this way, as an osteopath, I fall into the trap of the mechanical world. I talk about tensegrity and how muscles pull on bones. Lifting the arm becomes a sum of micro-movements. I break the macro-movement into…

Chapter 20 – Healing, whole, and perception
Osteopathic Healing I believe there’s a major misconception about healing in the context of osteopathy. When talking with other practitioners, it seems to me that the main idea they have about healing is that the practitioner has some sort of power and will destroy the germs or viruses that are currently making the patient sick.…

Chapter 19 – Nature as a physician
“There is probably no other branch of human knowledge about which the popular conception is so vague as the science of medicine. In theory people no longer look upon the physician as a man endowed with supernatural insight and power, but in fact they still regard him in that light. They call him to attend…

Chapitre 9 – Méthode employée par A.T. Still pour le coccyx
Courte traduction tirée de Osteopathy, Research and Practice par A.T. Still. Ici il s’agit du traitement du coccyx où il explique qu’il nest pas nécessaire de pratiquer un toucher rectal et que le patient doit rester habillé. Je n’ai, pour ma part, jamais vraiment compris pourquoi la majorité des ostéopathes demandent à leurs patients de…

Chapitre 8 – Imagination et science
Still était un escroc.Still avait un don. Ou alors Still faisait de l’ostéopathie ? La science procède aussi de l’imaginaire “Ainsi Jacques Monod a bien décrit la façon dont il voyait, dans son espace conscient, une protéine tourner.” “Le mathématicien Alain Connes, lui, va encore plus loin : il a le sentiment que sa discipline lui…

Chapter 18 – A feeling for the organism
Recently, I came across a book called A Feeling for the Organism, by Evelyn Fox Keller. The book is about the life and work of Barbara McClintock, an American scientist, and cytogeneticist who was awarded the 1983 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. What I found of utter interest is not her discoveries (I am…

Chapter 17 – Body-Mind
Reading a text without being aware of our philosophical background can lead to misunderstanding what the author is talking about. In order to explain this, and maybe get people to look at the way they think, I will give a few ideas about what might happen when we read Still with our modern mind. Chapter…
