So I received this lovely voicemail the other day:
“Hi Renee, I just wanted to say thank you for creating TBT. You know, for me, I felt I had to take osteopathy first. And I felt it helped me because I learned a lot of anatomy. But if I had to choose only one — out of the many techniques that I know — it would be TBT. It’s just the most powerful and can fix anything.”
I’m so happy she’s found TBT and her clients are loving it.
Let’s compare and contrast osteopathy and TBT. Both are good!
Osteopathy is a manual therapy that focuses on improving overall health by manipulating and strengthening the musculoskeletal framework. Osteopathy uses a holistic, whole-body approach to healthcare, focusing on the interrelation between structure and function.
Osteopaths use a broader range of manual techniques, including soft tissue manipulation, joint mobilization, and stretching. Osteopaths utilize a wider range of techniques, including electrical muscle stimulation, ultrasound, stretching exercises, and even surgery in some cases. They often use palpation, which involves gently examining the body with the fingers to identify the body’s structure, rhythm, and any weak spots so they can tailor the treatment to an individual
Summary: Osteopaths are trained in the physical. They find what is wrong by using their hands. They treat by using their hands.
Yes, they can use other techniques and tools, but all of these are physical as well.
There’s nothing wrong with focusing on the physical.
But life is more than that.
Tucker BioKinetic Technique (TBT): a framework and roadmap for using our healing energy to heal the patient. We believe that our bodies (including animals) are created with body, soul, and spirit. Bodies are created to heal themselves automatically. They fail when there is interference in the healing mechanisms.
Interference can be from items in 5 categories: physical, emotional, mental, spiritual, and other.
We also believe it is important to get to the underlying root cause of any specific problem. Once you fix that, the remaining compensatory issues will fall away, like dominoes. TBT also includes methods for finding the primary problem(s).
I hope this was helpful. Let me know if you have any comments or questions.
Cheers,
Renee Tucker, DVM
