The origins of osteopathy
–

Andrew Taylor Still, known as the founder of osteopathy, first studied medicine and was particularly interested in anatomy. By the 1870s, he had become interested in bonesetting, a form of manipulation used to treat orthopedic conditions.

In 1892, he founded the American School of Osteopathy, marked by some key notions defended by some of his contemporaries (Davis, Babbitt, Evans, etc.), in particular this concept of health defined as the harmonious interaction between the parts of the body and a fluid circulating there without obstruction. He affirmed the unity of the organism and its self-healing capacities, the links between structure and function and developed structural, manipulative techniques (most of which are now obsolete) which made it possible to resolve suffering by rebalancing joint disorders.

Poyet Method and Somatopathy

Somatopathy is a gentle , psycho-emotional manual therapeutic technique based on osteopathy and the POYET method.

The Poyet method refers to the Primary Respiratory Movement, a rhythmic, synchronous micro movement which animates all the tissues of the body.

It is directly inspired by the teaching of Maurice Poyet, physiotherapist and osteopath, whose understanding of osteopathy was characterized by a global vision of the individual and a reduction in technical gestures, favoring a non-manipulative approach but rather an energetic, sensitive and informational one: "the hand must be light like the wing of the butterfly" touching the cellular memory throughout the body.

Somatopathy is a psychosomatic manual therapy approach derived from the Poyet Method Osteopathy. Pierre-Camille Vernet, a student of Maurice Raymond Poyet, continued the latter's research by integrating the release of emotional blockages forgotten or hidden by conscious memory.

Somatopathy treats symptoms whose cause and origin are linked to emotions experienced or transmitted. By combining awareness and energetic correction of lesions, the natural movement of the structure is released, allowing the patient to "get back on track" on their own path of life and health.
