Dr. Andrew Taylor Still

Dr. Andrew Taylor Still was a pioneering American physician born in 1828, known for founding osteopathic medicine. He believed that many health issues stem from imbalances in the body's structure and that healing could be enhanced by focusing on the musculoskeletal system. Instead of relying solely on medications, he emphasized hands-on techniques to improve body function and promote natural healing. His approach, osteopathy, emphasizes the interconnectedness of body parts and the body's ability to heal itself when properly supported. Still's work laid the foundation for a comprehensive, holistic approach to healthcare that continues today.
