One of my mentors Phillip Greenman, DO passed away on February 7, 2013. Below
is a quote from the sacral torsion chapter I wrote acknowledging his influence
on my work. He has influenced many.
"I wish to express a debt of gratitude to the osteopathic profession, and in
particular to Philip Greenman, DO, who greatly influenced my development as a
hands-on clinician. I hope my reinterpretation honors your vision and your
body of work."
