Course Overview

More than a hundred years ago, Dr. Andrew Still realized that the human being is more than just a physical body. He envisioned a totally new medical system that later would be called Osteopathy, or as it’s currently termed osteopathic medicine.

PHO recounts how Still came to formulate the osteopathic principles which guide the profession until today and what lead him to believe that manipulation of the musculoskeletal system may be a key to alleviating many illnesses.

PHO course is your comprehensive introduction to osteopathic medicine.  By exploring the paradigm that structure (anatomy) and function (physiology)  impact each other, this course ties these two sciences together as the osteopathic treatment approach is explained. PHO examines the origins of osteopathy and discusses its evolution in the United States, Europe, and Canada. At the completion of the study, you will gain a comprehensive understanding of osteopathic tenets as the core principles of osteopathic healing philosophy.
