    Episode 41 - The Osteopathic Handshake: First Contact

    31/05/2026 | 14 mins.
    The apparently simple act of offering a handshake has profound Osteopathic significance. The handshake is the start of an Osteopathic treatment. Steve presents his unique way of beginning the diagnostic and therapeutic process by the use of the common greeting and farewell—the ritual of the handshake. The handshake is so much more than just a greeting or farewell gesture.

    Episode 39 - Zen and the Art of Osteopathy

    20/03/2026 | 7 mins.
    In this episode we explore a classic Zen Buddhist legend to help elucidate the topic of paying attention during an Osteopathic Treatment.

    Episode 38 - Osteopathic Pathophysiology: The Osteopathic Facilitated Segment Theory

    06/02/2026 | 15 mins.
    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.

About Osteopathy Unplugged
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
