The Deterioration of Osteopathic Practice
The fact that Osteopathic Manipulative Therapy has become a field of specialization within the Osteopathic medical profession is a reflection of the deterioration of the original philosophy and practice of this tradition. Bodywork is now seen as a separate something you are taught, and that a few doctors 'actually still do'. It is a separate type of therapy, like drug therapy or surgery or physical therapy. This is NOT a true reflection of the history and philosophy of the Osteopathic Profession.
xxxxx(Originally, the principles that the soma (body) reflected the state of the internal organs (the viscera) and the state of the organism as a whole (the patient's experience of living) was fully integrated in the diagnosis and treatment of disease. Such that if the Osteopathic Cardiologist was evaluating the patient, the structural diagnosis (evaluating the musculoskeletal system) had direct pertinence to the cardiac problem at hand. The reflection of the cardiac problem on the soma helped the physician make a diagnosis because they were able to assess the reflection on to the spinal centers.)
