Dr. Andrew Taylor Still (1828-1917) was a great intellectual pioneer, a wise and free thinker, who through a personal tragedy exchanged pharmaceutical drugs for anatomical manipulation techniques. Through his experience and research he discovered the body has a self-regulating and healing capability to adapt and re-discover better health and vitality.
He based his research in primary principles such as. that the basis of a good blood flow is the key, that the body with all its parts is a unit, and that function and structure are interconnected. Dr. Andrew taught his students that to heal a tissue it is necessary to know very well anatomy: “the artery, vein and nerve have to be free of obstruction, if there is pain find what is obstructing it and correct it.”
