History of osteopathy
This section retraces the entire history of osteopathy, starting from the sixth and fifth centuries B.C. with the first forms of experimental medicine up to the beginnings of osteopathy with Andrew Taylor Still in the United States of America at the end of the 19th century. We will focus on the history of osteopathy, with and after Still, in America, in Europe and in the UK, where osteopathy was introduced by John Martin Littlejohn.
