"Osteopathy treats the whole person" is a daft statement I used to hear when I was a student.
Everything affects the whole person.
The body heals itself if it has access to the right resources in adequate time and doesn't get in its own way.
Most of my work has been freeing bodies to help their rapid repair.
The role of a joint is to redirect load. If a joint isn't doing its job other tissues take the strain. Take the strain off and they can repair and recover.
Patients come in saying they think their problem is stress. Stress can be thought of a totality - a whole host of stressors adding up to stress the organism.
A stressor is a stimulus to change (if your head hurts when you bash it against the wall, stop!) so if you can reduce the total number of different things giving stress the body is more able to cope with what is left.
