The Body Returns Home: The History of Osteopathic Medicine

Step beyond the stethoscope and into the soul of medicine. The Body Returns Home: The History of Osteopathic Medicine is a scholarly, evocative exploration of osteopathic medicine—its origins, philosophy, evolution, and cultural impact. Hosted by physician and medical storyteller Dr. Susan Rashid, this podcast journeys through the luminous lineage of osteopathic medicine, where osteopathic medicine continues to breathe, evolve, and illuminate the sacred dialogue between body, mind, and spirit. Each episode traces the living lineage of osteopathy—from the revolutionary vision of Andrew Taylor Still to the present-day pulse of DOs across the globe. Through historical analysis, clinical insight, patient narratives, and cross-cultural comparisons, we uncover how osteopathic principles shaped not just treatments, but the very way we understand human wholeness. This is not just a podcast about bones and ligaments—it is about the stories they carry, the wisdom they remember, and the healing they guide us home to. For medical students, physicians, medical educators, historians, and seekers of deeper meaning in medicine—this journey begins at the body’s roots. © 2026 Rashid Media Productions.
