## Resource

The apparently simple act of offering a handshake has profound Osteopathic significance. The handshake is the start of an Osteopathic treatment. Steve presents his unique way of beginning the diagnostic and therapeutic process by the use of the common greeting and farewell—the ritual of the handshake. The handshake is so much more than just a greeting or farewell gesture. ~~~ We’ve created several foundational episodes, which are free and are available anywhere you get your podcasts.
