It is hoped that by sharing these insights that some of the 'missing elements' of a holistic view (i.e. those most helpful to achieving better patient outcomes as well as practitioner understanding and satisfaction) can be recognised and added back into the modern education, not only within Osteopathic education but in all health fields for the simple fact that a holistic integrated approach can potentially benefit all professions equally.
