This episode explores the focal Osteopathic Theory of the Facilitated Segment and we are expanding this influential Osteopathic concept with a new theory of Global Facilitation. Global Facilitation and Hyperfacilitation affect the whole body and mind and drive a persistent fight-or-flight response. We propose ways to clinically address these states with Osteopathic Manipulation.

All non-osteopathic complementary therapies must be well timed, so that the awareness of what is effective is evident. In an Osteopathic treatment context, it’s crucial when we introduce a non-Osteopathic element. This episode isn’t about the specifics of supplements. It is about optimizing the timing of all other treatments to support the learning process of both the Osteopath and the patient.

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.
