Osteopathic Doctor Examination & Myofascial Release Treatment 🩺 ASMR Soft Spoken Medical RP

Normal physical exams aren't often super hands-on, but an osteopathic exam is all about palpation and checking the body from all sides. There are a lot of “tests” that one wouldn't see in an allopathic exam, and the treatment is a little different as well. An osteopath works with over 40 techniques similar to what one might see in chiropractic, or even physical therapy. The goal is to treat the entire body, not just the symptoms, and bring the body into harmony on a physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual level.

Some parts of osteopathy are less woo-ey than others (usually the Doctor of Osteopathy tracks are a little more scientific), but on the whole, osteopathy is still a 📢 PSEUDOSCIENCE 📢 From Wikipedia: "Pseudoscience consists of statements, beliefs, or practices that claim to be both scientific and factual but are incompatible with the scientific method." This video is only intended for relaxation purposes, and I'm just an actor on the Internet.

❥ What Is ASMR? From Oxford Languages: "a feeling of well-being combined with a tingling sensation in the scalp and down the back of the neck, as experienced by some people in response to a specific gentle stimulus, often a particular sound. 'ASMR is triggered by things like whispering voices, paper tearing, and scalp massage.'"

❥ I want y'all to have a safe environment here regardless of where you come from, who you love, what you look like, you name it. I don't tolerate discrimination or hatred based on attributes you can't change like where you were born, what color you are, if you have a disability, or who you love– above all, be kind to one another. We're all just people, just trying to do our thing.
