About this podcast
We developed Osteopathy Unplugged out of our passion for Osteopathy and the recognition that our profession needs a more intimate conversation about who we are and what we do. We interweave the philosophy of Osteopathy with clinical relevance and reveal our inner vision into the real-world workings of how we practice and live Osteopathy as a way of being. We are creating a comprehensive "textbook" of Osteopathic Clinical Philosophy based upon the 21st century oral tradition of podcasting. The foundational episodes will be free of charge, wherever you get your podcasts. The complete collection will only be offered at: www.patreon.com/osteopathyunplugged
