Our Projects, Our Approach

The osteopathic field has no shortage of new techniques, approaches, and discoveries. New courses continually appear, covering every imaginable topic. Innovation is welcome—and necessary. However, we believe there are recurring issues in the usual process that can lead these developments off course.

Many “new techniques” in osteopathy are created by:

1. Starting with assumptions—first principles, traditions, or compelling stories that are not fully justified.

2. Projecting those assumptions onto the body—extrapolating across systems or borrowing ideas from other fields without deep understanding.

3. Calling the result a physiological discovery, even when it reflects the practitioner’s model more than the patient’s lived reality—confusing fantasy with physiology, and approach with true contact.

In short: the method is often idea-first, then body fitted to the idea, rather than reality-first, with explanation developed later.

The approach of Modern Osteopathy

Modern Osteopathy recognizes the mistakes of the past and takes a different path. It insists on:

1. No unjustified starting principles—we do not begin with doctrine, but with what is directly present.

2. Reality before interpretation—prioritizing clear experience, genuine contact, and therapeutic relationship before naming, mapping, or theorizing.

3. Big-picture grounding—situating practice within the wider understanding of human beings, relationship, medicine, and contemporary science, so techniques do not become isolated “little ideas.”

Scientific explanation comes after. Once something real is encountered, science is used carefully and deeply to explain it—never to justify a conclusion chosen in advance.
