Description
The healing arts involve a complex range of skills which each practitioner
draws together in a unique way. These skills, attitudes and perspectives complement
the scientific basis underpinning each discipline to create the wisdom and artistry
of any therapeutic approach.
The practice of osteopathy is no exception. It involves a growing field of scientific
knowledge in physics and biology that couples with an extraordinary range of
human qualities to give the work depth, as well as relevance, and which can
be tailored to the individual patient holistically and with compassion.
At the Still Point of the Turning World examines and explores both the art and
the science of osteopathy through the eyes and approach of a devoted teacher
and practitioner. The true value of holism, vitalism and osteopathic principles
are discussed as part of the approach that each practitioner brings to the patient/practitioner
relationship.
