Did you know we (National University of Medical Sciences (Spain) along with NUMSS (USA) and NAO) are the only osteopathy schools teaching the
manual mechanotherapy techniques of H. R. Spitler, MD, DC, DO, PhD?
Dr Spitler was a medical doctor, chiropractor, osteopath and
optometrist in Ohio, USA who invented a model of osteopathy techniques about a
hundred years ago that dealt with soft tissue as well as osseous manual
therapy. As his techniques focused mainly on orthopedic conditions of musculoskeletal
system, he fell out of favour with the osteopathy leadership of the time and
his techniques were not taught in most osteopathic schools.
Manual mechanotherapy is now mainly practiced in Ohio by a
group of practitioners calling themselves mechanotherpists. The techniques are
considered the lost techniques of osteopathy.
Dr. Daniel Nuzum, NMD, DO (from Ohio, USA) has done six
lectures on this technique which is now available for our students to watch at
our video server.
To celebrate opening
the first and only manual osteopathy university in the United States, in the
month of May 2016 we are giving free access to all our updated and new videos
to all NAO and NUMSS graduates once they complete an assignment. Contact Rachel
or Luary if you wish to receive information on how to get your free user ID and
password to our video server.
