Episode 14: Bones, Hormones and Blood
Description
In Episode 14, I am discussing some of the ideas around bones, hormones and blood! I finally have arrived to talking about bones. As a manual osteopath, I have been trained to work with bones through a variety of techniques. The term “osteopathy” was coined by its founder Dr. Andrew Taylor Still. The root of “osteon” is bone from Greek. Also from Greek, “Pathos” is the root for “suffering”. Learning to treat bones flipped my manual therapy work literally inside out. It was the most freeing experience to seemingly graduate from tissues to treating bones—this does not mean bones aren’t tissue or fascia for that matter. So, why is it important to treat bones? To help understand, one needs to know how bones work within the biological system. How they support vitality and health in the body.
