Getting exam results can feel scary.
You have to remember that passing or failing an exam does not determine how you will carry on with your life and career that you follow.
I love my job. I studied hard to do what I do. I found my career through failing over and over and never really knowing what I wanted to do when I left school. Sometimes when you don't get what you want it's the best lesson in life you can have.
That said I hope everything goes well today. Be happy to get this far whatever the exam results will be.... there's plenty more in your future to look forward to xx

One of the main things I focus on with helping people is to stop the mindset of thinking you have a weakness.... change your narrative and look for health within. We can all work harder, do more, feel better and keep going forward. It's all about perspective x

The Osteopathic Listening Touch: hands that listen can change everything.

In osteopathy, touch is diagnostic. Subtle. Informed. Present.

An experienced DO can feel fluid restrictions, fascial tension, or asymmetries with remarkable precision. They’re trained to perceive what others may miss—not just symptoms, but stories beneath them.

This is not intuition—it’s anatomy-informed perception, developed through years of study, practice, and intention.

👂 The osteopathic touch is a form of listening.
It says:
I see your pain.
I honor your body’s story.
I trust your capacity to heal.

Osteopaths don’t “fix” the body—they invite it back into relationship with itself.

One manipulation isn’t just a fix—it’s a ripple.

A sacral release doesn’t just affect the pelvis—it can influence the spine, cranial rhythm, even digestion.

That’s the beauty of osteopathy. Nothing in the body is isolated. A change in one area echoes across the rest.

OMT isn’t about cracking or “popping.” It’s about restoring balance and letting the body reorganize itself. A physician’s hands might adjust a joint—but the patient’s body does the healing.

In a world of quick fixes, OMT offers something deeper: long-term, system-wide change built on the principle of unity.

What area of your body might be trying to tell a deeper story?

"Like a thirsty herd of camels" - Dr. Andrew Taylor Still, the founder of osteopathy, was known not just for his groundbreaking ideas—but for the colorful, powerful imagery he used to describe the body.

This particular quote refers to the nervous system and its vital role in regulating and supporting every structure and function of the body. Just as a herd of camels urgently seeks out water in the desert, the nervous system constantly demands nourishment, circulation, and balance to keep the body functioning at its best.

When there's interference—whether due to misalignment, poor posture, or restriction in motion—those “camels” go thirsty. OMT helps remove those barriers, restoring the flow and allowing the body to heal itself, just as Dr. Still envisioned.

Let this metaphor remind us of the importance of flow, balance, and connection in everything we do—whether we’re treating patients or tending to our own wellbeing.

OMT was born on the battlefield.

Did you know Dr. Andrew Taylor Still developed the foundations of osteopathy after serving as a Civil War surgeon?

Frustrated with the limitations of medicine at the time—and grieving the loss of his own children to spinal meningitis—he began to search for a more effective, hands-on, and respectful approach to the human body.

He studied anatomy relentlessly. He believed the body could heal itself if given the right conditions—especially structure.

Out of this conviction, Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment (OMT) was born. Not from theory, but from need, loss, and hope.

Today, every OMT treatment is part of that legacy—of listening to the body, of trusting its design, and of never giving up on healing.

📚 Still’s story is more than history—it’s a challenge to keep asking: Am I treating the body, or am I truly understanding it?
