In Part I of this 2-part series, Mel talks about his life crises as a traditional doctor and the events that led him to osteopathy.
Mel shares with us the different approaches to medicine that osteopathic doctors share compared to traditional doctors and the misconceptions that many people, INCLUDING osteopaths, have in regards to osteopathy. He also shares how his techniques and methods for healing, which were once the mainstay of osteopathy, yet now are only practiced by 1% of all osteopaths.
