Highlights
One minute, you come across an episode on some random podiatry podcast with a bloke talking about foot mobilisation, nek minnit (two years later) you're doing his course in person. Thanks Tyson E. Franklin for the introduction to Ted Jedynak and the continuing great content. Tyson I reckon you should have a sign in the background of your videos that says "Your next connection could be the one that changes your life." 😉

We are celebrating 150 years of osteopathy!
As we celebrate 150 years of osteopathic medicine, explore the profession’s illustrious past and see how it informs our present and future in Aotearoa, New Zealand and the country of origin, America.
Florence MacGeorge is considered New Zealand's first osteopath. Florence MacGeorge, born in 1867 in Launceston, Tasmania, travelled to the United States in search of a remedy for a disabling eye condition.
After trying many therapies, including some that worsened her eye condition, she made her way to Kirksville on the strength of testimonials about the hands-on treatment of the'Old Doctor', Dr A.T. Still MD.
So impressed with the results of her osteopathic treatment, she enrolled to become a D.O. at the American School of Osteopathy, graduating in 1900.
She is on the top left, above Dr Still in the picture above. The graduation photo features several female graduates, a pretty unusual occurrence at the turn of the century.
In 1928, she returned to Kirksville to celebrate Still's birth centenary. She had the photo above turned into a postcard to commemorate her career travelling and treating people worldwide with osteopathy.
The postcard reads: "During the centenary of the Father of Osteopathy's birth, I would lay the flags of these countries in which I have practised over a quarter of a century - beginning with the United States and Canada to the far-away Commonwealth of Australia and the wondrous Dominion of New Zealand, during the stern years of war to England and bonnie Scotland, later to the French and Italian Rivieras on the sunny shores of the Mediterranean and Switzerland, returning by way of the Dominion of Canada to the A.O.A. Convention in Kirksville 1928."
After practising in Australia, Canada, the U.K., Italy and the French Rivera, Dr MacGeorge settled and began a practice in Nelson.
Her shingle is pictured. She used the quaint and old-fashioned practice description of Osteopathist and the term Osteopathic Physician on another business card. She died in 1961.
Osteopathy is that science of the structure and functions of the human mechanism by which nature may recover from disease." AT Still MD
