Osteopathy - Why they poke your B....

Have you ever wondered what would happen at an appointment with an osteopathic practitioner? In this week's episode of Vitamin Junkeys, Jennifer Lyall and naturopath Dr. JJ are joined by osteopathic manual practitioner, Laura Disenhaus. Laura demonstrates an initial assessment with Jennifer. The assessment focuses on Jennifer's jaw, particularly her TMJ issues.

It is fine for a licensed PT to perform some techniques that were developed first by osteopaths, but to call yourself an "osteopathic practitioner" is fraud and probably illegal in all states because the practice of osteopathy and medicine is regulated by the medical board. She is also calling herself an osteopath. This woman should be in jail.

@Bently100 Thank you for your comments. Please see the note from Laura Disenhaus below where she outlines the requirements for training in Ontario, Canada (where this video is filmed). The terms used in the video are all appropriate for Ontario.

[VitaminJunkeys]

Different terminology & accreditations are used around the world, however the basis of the technique (from my understanding) is the same (Laura could comment more knowledgeably). You should ensure that you see an osteopath that is properly licensed for the area you live in.

Could you remake that without the jokster? A straight-forward demo would be so much more professional and informative.

She never once says this.

Then in another post you say she should be jailed (it turned out that you were confused about the occupational designation in another country)

Bently100, I am afraid you are the one with an imbalance; one which I am afraid an osteopath can not fix.

@MadJoe11 they're now known to be movable in a live person; but fixed in a cadaver.

Thank you for posting this great video.

Who told Harold Ramis he could come?

[MadJoe11]

@rituskis Actually, the fact that she claims that the sutures are movable means she believes she can palpate them and adjust them. Its called Cranial Therapy. I am in training at a US DO school and have been taught that the sutures can be moved.... I also do not believe it because I have also (in anatomy lab) had a human skull in my hands, as well as had to break it apart in places with a hammer and chisel. Those sutures are as tight as welds. Its a controversial claim that's been around.

I'm a 22 year Doctor of Chiropractic in the states helping 500+ pv/week. Your video presentation of osteopathy was fun and informative.

Thank you. This video is going to help a lot for my interview at an osteopathic school of medicine.

@Bently100 Let me add that all of her years of "training" were wasted if she still believes that she is perceiving microns of movement or making corrections to the cranial bones based upon those perceptions. These techniques can certainly be relaxing and helpful, but not because cranial bones are being "adjusted".

[Bently100]

@EuroPhantom22 My statements were perfectly accurate for the USA, Canada has different laws. Your attitude and words shows a totally unbalanced mind. I hope you are not one of treats the public, because you do seem rather insane.

[EuroPhantom22]

@Bently100 She can call herself whatever she wants, Doctor, Osteopath, Osteopathic Practicioner, You should keep your mouth shut and not talk about stuff u know nothing about. She has followed the regulations in Ontario, if you have nothing to do with your time but criticize, get off youtube asshole
