Critiquing the Critique - Denslow and Korr v Fryer et al Classical Osteopathy Podcast

- Alternative Health
Old and new research, has this been good for osteopathic education? I contrast and compare the work of Denslow and Korr to the later work by Fryer et al and see the effect on undergrad education. Many thanks to Mervyn Waldman and Alain Abehsera.
The sequelae from the papers by Fryer et al, over the last 25 odd years, have been instrumental in removing traditional osteopathic concepts from undergraduate education. The use of these concepts has been observed to work in the clinic and has helped millions of patients around the world over the last 120-plus years, often leading patients away, as they vote with their feet, from mainstream medical care to an osteopathic system of care.
This podcast is about how Fryer et al have attempted to reproduce Denslow and Korr’s experiments from the 1940s, I have compared and contrasted their laudable attempts at reproducing these experiments by taking a deep dive into both the Denslow and Korr research and the Fryer et al research, the findings are surprising. I have been working on and sitting on this for a couple of years now. With the help of Mervyn Waldman and Alain Abehsera, we knocked my 10,000-plus words of notes down to a more journal-like length of 2-3000 words. However, we had to leave out so much of the detail as it is a long and complex subject covering lots of papers, and doing that just didn’t do it justice. So, I have decided to publish it here on the Classical Osteopathy Podcast which over time more people will listen to than would have read it in a journal.
