Classical Osteopathy Podcast Institute of Classical Osteopathy - www.classical-osteopathy.org

Hi, this isn't a new podcast, I recorded this with Chris Campbell probably about a year ago and it is on the ICO YouTube channel. However, there was some recent conversation about current osteopathic standards of education verses the earlier education, and this webinar is a window into the standards of the day, see what you think. It also discusses the early arguments about general treatment verses specific treatment, when general treatment wasn't specific and when it was. This then leads into JM Littlejohn's approach to treating someone with what was called "neurasthenia" which is akin to ME or CFS.

A short video cast about the upcoming conference

Today Diego and I sat with Alex while he talked about seasonal colds and flu and their relevance to health, what to do when one arrives and how we can stay healthy through winter. Nature Cure and Natural Hygiene looks at symptoms and relates them to what our bodies are trying to achieve at that point in time, it aims to help support these processes as they are natural cleaning and healing processes. These natural healing processes and principles are part of osteopathy as what AT Still called “the bodies own medicine chest” and not a different healing art so it is important we study and understand them as events that naturally occur during our patients recovery process.

This is the Osteopathic Alliance statement about UCO and BCNO Group News outlining their changes in strategy which will involve undergrad education and wide range of changes to osteopathy in the UK and my comments and opinion.
I also talk about the Osteopathic Itch.

Hello all, this is an interview with long-term ICO lecturer Hendrik Vlek. Hendrik is an incredible osteopath with a fantastic knowledge and specialises in the lymphatic system. Today I did a short interview with him talking about the lymphatic system and the workshop he is running on 2nd and 3rd December 2023 at the Littlejohn Centre in Dublin. We are really looking forward to it, for booking details please go to www.classical-osteopathy.org

I hope you enjoy this podcast from my colleague Alice Williams who is also one of these super bright people, she has an uncanny ability to ask the most probing of questions to see where you are with your understanding so she can help you find the next step on this fantastic journey of osteopathic learning, which ultimately allows us to help more people more often. This is the approach Alice has taken with this article, she has understood that their view is governed by where they are standing and can see this view is the medical view which was likely to be in place during their upbringing and developed further during their undergraduate and post-graduate education. This is why they are where they are, but it is not the osteopathic view.
