Redefining osteopathic leadership with insight, influence and care

In this episode, Stuart Hammond sits down with Hanna Tómasdóttir, President of Danske Osteopater. Under her leadership, the association has expanded from just 40 members in 2013 to more than 300 in 2024, making it one of the fastest‑growing osteopathic organisations worldwide. An Icelandic born Dane, Hanna also serves as President of Osteopathy Europe and sits on the board of the International Osteopathic Alliance. Beyond her leadership roles, she brings osteopathy to the public as the owner of a Copenhagen-based practice and as a health columnist for Denmark’s largest weekly women’s magazine. Hear how her guiding influence as a member of a Danish working group, developed the Danish National Clinical Guidelines for the non-pharmacological treatment of migraines and tension type headaches and her view on the role positive psychology plays in the recovery process for patients with chronic conditions. A thoughtful and inspiring conversation with one of Europe’s most influential osteopathic leaders.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
