Osteopathy is an Art of healing, a medicine in its own right, a medicine with bare hands, which made its appearance in the U.S. at the end of the 19 th century. Osteopathy is gentle, inexpensive, fast and non-polluting.
Its inventor is Mr. Andrew Taylor Still . His intuition told him that the body had everything it needed to function properly. With his bare hands, he began to save people from the often fatal diseases of the time: high fevers, diphtheria, pneumonia, mumps, etc. He was considered a miracle worker. People took him for a miracle worker and came to see him from afar. "From now on," he said, "I'll follow nature's dictatorship and throw medicines to the dogs".
The idea that a bone malposition could act on the functioning of organs and viscera was revolutionary!
