Is there standard training in Osteopathic schools?
No, unfortunately Certain schools see only the scientific aspect of acquiring knowledge and in how they are organized. Perhaps this develops osteopathic medicine but not osteopathy. Lets leave medical osteopathy to the faculties of medicine and respect the philosophy of osteopathy, i.e., looking at the interactivity of tissues, articulations, glands, viscera and organs as a whole. Other schools think only of manual therapy as an art and indulge in constant questioning which leads to more or less esoteric answers. Where to find the perfect balance? The Sutherland Academies of Osteopathy are certainly the best solution to date. Unencumbered by pseudo-medical notions and free of any esoterism, they teach first and foremost the art of healing with the hands based on the mastery of the most pertinent knowledge.
