The Institute of Classical Osteopathy is an international post-graduate education charity inaugurated in 1954. Its purpose was to bring together in one body, those members of the osteopathic profession who were prepared to interpret and apply osteopathy as it was laid down by early pioneering osteopaths in the US and the UK, most notably A.T. Still and John Martin Littlejohn whilst integrating these values with modern ongoing scientific discovery.

Wednesday, 6 August, 2025
In this episode, we pick up the story with the so-called “No Physiology” incident — a myth that has long clouded the relationship between Still and Littlejohn.We follow Littlejohn’s departure from the American School of Osteopathy, setting up the school in Chicago, his return to England, the founding of the British School of Osteopathy, and the struggles he faced until his death.Finally, we explore how changes to the curriculum after his passing led to the formation of the Institute of Classical Osteopathy — to preserve what was in danger of being lost.
