In this episode, Prue Eddie and Michael Solano, who are both faculty of the Rule of the Artery Program for the Australian Research College of Osteopathic Medicine (aka ARCOM), delve into the enduring wisdom of Dr. Andrew Taylor Still, unpacking one of his foundational insights that “the rule of the artery is supreme.” Guided by host and fellow osteopath, Sonia Wainberg, the conversation explores how osteopathic principles support the body’s innate ability to self-regulate when blood and lymphatic flow are unobstructed and cellular vitality can thrive.

With a recognition that injuries and chronic conditions are deeply influenced by vascular health and an understanding that “the veins are the drains” is more than a metaphor, Prue and Michael offer a rich perspective on how manual therapy intersects with the body’s circulatory function and that without proper drainage, tissues may not be nourished, repaired, or restored.

Osteopathy Australia extends their appreciation to Prue Eddie, Michael Solano and Sonia Wainberg for generously sharing their time and insights with Osteo Talk and for their valued contributions to the osteopathic profession.
