Still Techniques: The Forgotten Osteopathic Techniques

Dr. Andrew Taylor Still, MD, DO (founder of osteopathy) developed many methods of treatments.

In one such method (commonly known as the Still Techniques) the patient is initially moved away from the dysfunctional barrier, then a well-directed focusing force is applied, during which the dysfunctional joint is carried through a path of least resistance into the barrier.

Osteopathic Techniques - NUMSS

The Still technique loosens the ligaments and tendons

binding a joint by first moving away from the

barrier into relaxation, and then reverses direction to

allow the joint to slide back into place while the

supporting ligaments and tendons are relaxed

The Still techniques never gained popularity with early osteopaths because easier and quicker osteopathic manual therapy techniques were available to osteopaths. Still techniques, the ground breaking methods of relaxing the soft tissue and then settling the joint were somewhat forgotten until Dr. Richard VanBuskirk, DO published “The Still Technique Manual” in 2000.

Now these techniques have regained the popularity they deserve as a number of schools including National Academy of Osteopathy (Canada), National University of Medical Sciences (Spain) and National University of Medical Sciences (USA) have added them to the curriculum of their manual osteopathy diploma and degree programs.

Dr Daniel Nuzum, NMD, DO teaches Still Techniques which is uploaded to our video servers for our registered students to watch.
