AT Still founded osteopathy on the principle that structure governs function — a concept that chiropractors recognize immediately. This expanded 26-work collection represents the shared intellectual heritage of manual medicine. From Still's own philosophy and autobiography to clinical technique manuals and a rare promotional film, they document an approach to healing that influenced every manual therapy profession that followed.
Each collection is a curated archive of reference materials delivered on USB or DVD, with free instant online access included with every physical order.
Osteopathy and chiropractic developed in parallel during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Both professions drew from the same well of anatomical knowledge and manual technique.
This expanded collection gathers 25 foundational osteopathic texts, including works by AT Still himself — his autobiography, multiple philosophy volumes, and research and practice writings. Additional texts cover clinical technique, anatomy and physiology, the science of osteopathy, and the profession's early research efforts.
The collection also includes a 15-minute historic promotional film for osteopathic physicians and surgeons. Of particular interest to chiropractors: the philosophical frameworks, the anatomical illustrations, and the clinical reasoning that informed both professions. These are primary source documents from the era when manual medicine was being invented.
Historic source scans can vary in image quality, typography, page tone, and OCR/search accuracy. These files are provided as a DRM-free historical reference collection for study and collecting.
