Function As A Whole
To help establish a point of Rest or Neutral around which the Whole can come to balance.
As osteopaths, we use our hands to help people function as a whole. One of the ways we do this, according to Dr. Jealous, is by helping establish a point of rest or neutrality around which the entire body can return to balance. This principle has been a central focus of Dr. Etemad's practice for many years.
Whatever the disease process and whatever the injured part, the goal remains the same: helping that part return to relationship with the whole person. Through a detailed history and careful evaluation, important clues often emerge that reveal previously unseen pathways toward healing and improved function.
