A proposito di questo titolo
Criticism is not new in osteopathy. What is new is the way it unfolds — publicly, instantly, and often emotionally — on social media.
In this opening episode, we explore a simple but uncomfortable question: what does criticism reveal about our profession?
We discuss:
- How online debates shape professional identity
- The tension between internal critique and public exposure
- The role of social media in amplifying division
- Whether controversy signals weakness — or growth
- What professional maturity might look like in a fragmented landscape
Rather than taking sides, this conversation aims to step back and examine the cultural dynamics at play.
Is the problem the criticism itself — or the way we handle it?
A reflective discussion for practitioners who care about the future of the profession.
