Osteopathy Business Tip # 38



One of the easiest ways to build a solid osteopathic practice is to ask for referrals. You should ask, on a daily basis for referrals from everyone you meet, specially your current patients.

What Symbols are Used by Osteopaths?

Osteopaths use the Staff of Asclepius that represents the Greek god of healing and medicine, the god all physicians swear to in the Hippocratic Oath. 

Medical doctors use the Caduceus (the one with two snakes and wings) represents the Greek god of commerce, eloquence, trickery, negotiation and potions.
