It’s really disturbing

That the osteopathic community hasn’t strongly condemned this.

They have condemned Nassar individually, but continue to make vague statements about intravaginal manipulation being a “legitimate” treatment in certain circumstances.

To be clear - there is zero high quality evidence that this is an effective (much less appropriate) clinical therapy. The anatomic/physiologic principles underlying it are suspect at best.

The DO leadership/community should throw this “treatment” in the garbage where it belongs. They unfortunately seem more concerned with protecting the reputation of osteopathy.
