About

John Bayliss was a successful Osteopath for 30 years before he retired. He took a spine apart and analysed it from an engineering point of view. He worked out how the spine articulates as a complete unit, in harmony and synergetically to produce human movement. Before it was theorized that muscles and ligament were the driving force and the cause of Osteopathic lesions. The muscles and ligaments play an important role and can cause disruptive symptoms as part of a bony lesion. They are not the cause. John had many eureka moments when he worked out the mechanics behind many difficult topics that had been glossed over by the manipulative and muscles professions.

In 2005, John proudly made a DVD on how the joints of the whole spine articulate in harmony to produce the synergetic movements humans take for granted. He also showed what an Osteopathic lesion was on a facet impacted against facet level. From then on, he was able to continue to advance his theories and practice and worked out PPT (passive patient treatment) manipulation which is a silent new way of manipulation where the bony lesion is unwound rather than forced apart.

John Bayliss has been head hunted to run workshops around the world and treat VIP people. His name is little known to amongst Osteopaths in the UK because UK Osteopaths assume the big names would be at the forefront of technological advancement. This would have been true in the last century, but not in this century.
