PROLOGUE
The first step in Osteopathy
is a belief
in our own body.
Andrew Taylor Still,
founder of Osteopathy
An innovative and unique view of human functioning
has evolved from the osteopathic philosophical foundation
that acknowledges the primary importance of the living body.
Prepare to enter a different paradigm of medicine….
and become acquainted with a physiological system
intimately involved in the body’s self-regulatory process.
This perspective is best exemplified by
Osteopathy in the Cranial Field.
Cranial osteopathy is the study of anatomy and physiology of the cranium,
the central nervous system, and the cerebrospinal fluid,
and their inter-relationship with the body as a whole.
The overall efficiency of this system has been found
to assume a primary role in the treatment of disease
as well as in the maintenance of health.
