Osteopathy and Swedenborg
Publisher:
Swedenborg Scientific Association
Book Description:
Swedenborg’s influences on osteopathy were more than metaphysical. His descriptions of fluid and fascia resonate with Still and Sutherland’s ideas and show that the connection of science and spirit is an essential element in both the development of Swedenborg’s metaphysics as well as in the development of osteopathy. Although osteopathy was not the direct outgrowth of Swedenborg’s philosophy, his influence can be seen throughout its growth, from the beginning with Still and continued development through Sutherland. The two philosophies are clearly linked through their founders and philosophy, and a thorough knowledge and understanding of both schools of thought will help to elucidate their complex and complementary connections.
Author Biography:
Dr. Fuller teaches and practices at the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine as a Clinical Associate Professor and is a Fellow in the American Academy of Osteopathy. He is board certified in three specialties.
