At the AAO, we believe healing starts with truly listening through our hands, our hearts, and our training. ✋❤️

Osteopathic manipulative medicine is more than a technique. It is a mindset built on trusting the body's ability to heal itself.

DOs trained in OMM spend hundreds of hours developing palpatory skills, learning to diagnose and treat with precision and empathy.

The complexity of bones 🦴

When you look at a single bone you’re not just seeing its shape, you’re seeing the trace of motion, pressure, health and life. To Dr. A.T. Still, to truly “know” a bone is to acknowledge its role in the entire human system.

Which structure of the body do you find most fascinating to study?

11/14/2025

Osteopathic medicine has seen countless influential DOs. Here are 5 DOs who truly left their mark in history 📍

#1 A.T. Still, MD, DO
A list of influential DOs would be incomplete without A.T. Still. Andrew Taylor Still founded osteopathic medicine in 1874 after rejecting the limitations of conventional care. He introduced the idea that the body can heal itself when its structure and function are in balance. His school in Kirksville shaped the entire profession that exists today.

#2 William Garner Sutherland, DO
William Garner Sutherland pioneered the cranial concept and reshaped how DOs understand motion within the human body. His research showed that the skull is not fixed and that subtle rhythms influence health. His ideas became a central pillar of modern osteopathic manipulative treatment.

#3 John Martin Littlejohn, DO
John Martin Littlejohn helped bring osteopathic medicine to an international audience after training directly under A. T. Still. He founded the Chicago College of Osteopathic Medicine and later expanded osteopathy across Europe.

#4 Jenette H. Bolles, DO
Jenette Bolles was one of the earliest female DOs to gain national influence after graduating in 1894. She founded the Western Institute of Osteopathy in Denver and served as first vice president to the AOA.

#5 Louisa Burns, DO
Louisa Burns was a pioneering researcher in osteopathic medicine. She headed the A.T. Still Research Institute for years and her work showed that stimulation in one part of the body could affect other, distant parts supports the principles that are foundational to osteopathic practice.

Dr. Still held many foundational beliefs which OMT is based on, including:

🔴The body operates as one complete unit.
🔴The body is self-healing and self-regulating
🔴The body's fluids must be allowed to flow without restriction to work optimally
🔴The body has distinct parts (mind, body, and spirit) that works together in harmony

🗨️ Let us know in the comments which of these is the most misunderstood or underutilized in practice 👇
