In this impossible interview, we meet William L. Johnston, an American osteopath and pioneer of systemic thinking. He speaks of functional chains, “stellar” segments, and the scapula as a key to unlocking the cervical spine. He anticipated concepts like upper-cross syndrome and central regulation, blending clinical precision with palpatory poetry. And in the end, his ironic advice: always carry two tools—one imaginary, the other from your toolbox. The osteopathic symphony is about to begin.
