Episode 38 - Osteopathic Pathophysiology: The Osteopathic Facilitated Segment Theory

from Osteopathy Unplugged · host Steve Paulus, DO & Bonnie Gintis, DO

This episode explores the focal Osteopathic Theory of the Facilitated Segment and we are expanding this influential Osteopathic concept with a new theory of Global Facilitation. Global Facilitation and Hyperfacilitation affect the whole body and mind and drive a persistent fight-or-flight response. We propose ways to clinically address these states with Osteopathic Manipulation. ~~~  We’ve created several foundational episodes, which are free and are available anywhere you get your podcasts.
