The founder of Osteopathy was born today, 197 years ago! 💝

Happy Birthday Dr. Andrew Taylor Still! On August 6, 1828, A. T. Still was born in Lee County, Virginia, to Rev. Abram Still and Martha Still. "I suppose I began life as other children, with the animal form, mind, and motion all in running order. I suppose I bawled, and filled the bill of nature in the baby life."- Opening words to chapter one of the Autobiography of A. T. Still

When Osteopathic Manual Practitioners (OMPs) say they take a "holistic approach," it means they consider the whole person—body, mind, and lifestyle—rather than just focusing on specific symptoms or isolated body parts. This approach aims to identify and treat the root causes of health issues, not just the immediate discomfort or pain.

A holistic approach in osteopathy involves:
- Understanding the body as an Interconnected System
- Considering Lifestyle Factors
- Personalized Treatment
- Support Overall Health

This holistic philosophy is what differentiates osteopathy from other types of manual therapy and aligns with the goal of achieving balance and harmony within the body.
