Key Takeaways:

  • Fusion of Disciplines: Jörg Schürpf has merged Thai massage and osteopathy into "osteo Thai," a unique practice that balances Eastern movement with Western anatomical understanding.
  • Educational Insights: European osteopathy differs from American practices, often requiring a background in medical or therapeutic professions, though a unique path is available for those passionate about healing.
  • Concept of Fulcrum: Understanding fulcrums in bodywork can drastically enhance the effectiveness of touch therapies, allowing for precise and safe manipulations.
