OSTEOPATHY IS SERVICE

We use our hands….

to treat the Whole patient

to listen to the indwelling movement of Life

to treat all levels of illness

to assist in building the patient’s functional reserve

to support homeostasis and trophicity by balancing the activity of the autonomic nervous system

to explore “laws not framed by human hands” (Dr. Still and Sutherland)

to cooperate and communicate with the Laws of Nature (Dr. Wales)

to find the Health (Dr. Still)

to get to the treatment plan

to get to the diagnosis

to help establish a point of Rest of Neutral around which the Whole can come to balance to find Cause

We believe……..

that we have the innate capacity to heal

that the body functions as a Whole

that the autonomic nervous system plays a major role in disease and healing

that structure and function are one form of activity

that the Divine is indwelling

that Life moves beyond death

that there is a Constant movement towards Normal

that we are here to Serve Humanity

that Stillness of a particular nature transmutates lesions

Normal is……

“a sense of peace and harmony” (Dr. Sutherland)

Motion without tension

Neutrality

Wholeness

The capacity for change
