Andrew Taylor Still (1828-1917) was a distinguished physician and the founder of Osteopathy, a branch of alternative medicine recognizing the interrelationship between structure and function of the human body. His pioneering work laid the foundation for an approach to medicine that emphasizes the treatment of medical disorders through the manipulation and massage of the bones, joints, and muscles. Born in Virginia and raised in a Methodist household with a father who was also a physician, Still grew up in a milieu that valued both spiritual and physical healing. Dissatisfied with the efficacy of 19th-century traditional medicine, particularly after the death of three of his children from spinal meningitis, Still sought out a more holistic approach to health care. This led to the publication of 'Philosophy of Osteopathy' in 1899, a seminal text in which he articulated the principles of his novel therapeutic approach. The book became a cornerstone of osteopathic education, not only espousing his medical philosophy but also calling into question the conventional medical practices of the time. The author's literary style in his didactic work is empirical and instructional, yet imbued with a profound philosophical underpinning that reflects his belief in the body's innate capacity for healing. Still's contributions to the field of alternative medicine are commemorated by the existence of colleges and professional organizations worldwide devoted to the practice and promotion of Osteopathy.
