Abstract/Notes

Abstract: Osteopath Dr Viola Frymann placed an emphasis on the art of touch in the therapeutic encounter. In 1970 the founder of SOT Major DeJarnette noted regarding touch ‘Light fingers, soft touch, slow movement, warm hands. Eternal patience with difficult problems’. Our touch with cranial technique in particular is likewise processed through the patient’s central nervous system, mind, and spirit. This can affect a patient’s emotional state and guides the nature of caring they might sense from their doctor.

Chiropractors can use our touch or palpation as non-verbal communication to guide our chiropractic care as well as
possibly obtain pertinent information about our patient’s history
