Osteopath: definition and main objectives

Ivan Osteopat654 30-Mar-2019

The main task of the osteopath is to serve the people. The science of osteopathy begins with the discovery of structure and function in the human body. They manifest themselves in the form of a fluid moving mobile mechanism within the physiology of the body. They are a kind of experience coming from inside the patient’s body; this experience is expressed as a self-trained, trained palpatory osteopathic skill. In the work of E.T. Stilla contains the whole science of osteopathy. In the work of VG Sutherland, the description of the primary respiratory mechanism, with detailed anatomy and physiology, his work is not one of the components of Dr. Still's work, but an independent whole, part of the science of osteopathy.

One must constantly remember such an important fact that during their discoveries Dr. Still and Sutherland recognized that osteopathy is the fundamental vital law of body physiology, and recognized the need to become eternal students who study the living physiology of the body throughout their lives. They stopped being doctors - they became students. They stopped their quest and founded osteopathy; they became students of the science of osteopathy until the end of their days. Doctors Still and Sutherland have become eternal students, like all those doctors following in their footsteps, who also feel they need to be students - who will agree to act in accordance with a certain set of life laws to serve humanity.

We are not here to recall the writings of Still or Sutherland; we are here to become students studying the laws of the mechanism that was discovered by them. These laws are quite accessible, they are open space. Still and Sutherland became students and devoted themselves to science. They gave their labors to their followers, but they gave only the key, knowing that all osteopaths themselves must become students of their work. The main task in osteopathic practice is to consider the physiology of the body as a single whole - its structure and function as a kind of unity - and also it must be recognized that an arbitrary involuntary fluid moving mobile mechanism is a pronounced transformation concluded in the physiology of the body. As osteopaths, we need to develop the skills of palpation, which allow us to capture the patient's physiology. We must recognize the fact that the primary respiratory mechanism is the working unit of osteopathic science and include this functional unit in the whole picture of the healthy state and / or dysfunction in the physiology of the patient's body.
