Mind-Body Healing: Can Osteopathic Principles & Manipulation Transform Psychiatry?
Saturday, 9 May, 2026

In this episode, Dr. Santiesteban, Dr. Kar, and Dr. Kiafar dive into how osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT) could play a bigger role in mental health care. They discuss how osteopathic philosophy can be applied to psychiatry, how practitioners can "feel" a patient's anxiety through muscle tension, and the ways osteopathic manipulation can help relieve symptoms of psychopathology. They also explore how osteopathic training empowers patients to understand and manage their mental health through a holistic, integrative approach. Their narrative review can be found here: https://psychiatryonline.org/doi/10.1176/appi.ajp-rj.2025.210202
