“A Frontier Mind and A Scholar’s Cause: Still and Littlejohn”

Why did A.T. Still reject the medicine of his time and create a radical new approach to health?

And who was John Martin Littlejohn — the brilliant Scottish scholar whose convictions would carry osteopathy into the academic world?

In this episode of ICO Why We Exist, Robert Cartwright traces Still’s frontier upbringing, profound personal losses, and deep trust in nature that led to the discovery of osteopathy, before introducing Littlejohn: a man of rigorous principle and intellect whose early life set the stage for osteopathy’s evolution.
