AT Still believed that we all possess what we need to heal, and OMT stimulates

• A. Inherent forces
• B. External energy
• C. Genetic predisposition
• D. Spiritual energy

Answer: (A)

The idea AT Still emphasized is that the body has an innate self-healing power that can be awakened or supported. Osteopathic manipulative treatment works by addressing somatic dysfunctions to restore proper structure and function, which in turn allows the body's regulatory systems to operate more effectively. By improving circulation, lymphatic flow, and tissue mobility, OMT taps into the body's own inherent forces—the vis medicatrix naturae—that drive healing from within. External energy or spiritual energy aren’t part of this framework, and while genetic predisposition influences how tissues respond, it isn’t the active healing force that OMT stimulates.
