Acknowledgments

Summarising 27 years of work in a few lines is far from easy, but nonetheless I will try.

First of all, I thank Dr. Gianezio Paribelli who for more than 20 years has been guiding me like a father in my work and life: the “boss.”

I also thank my friend Andrea Turrina, PT-DO, director of the School of Osteopathy, EOM Italia, of whose teaching staff I am a proud member.

I thank the coordinator of the teaching staff at EOM Italia, Daniele Oliva, PT-DO, because he always believed in me even when I no longer did. I am also grateful to the director of EOM International, Dr. François Ricard, DO-PT, for how he always “looked after” me during my teacher certification examinations.

Finally, I thank my family for the patience they have had and will continue to have in the future as we are only at the beginning.

I thank those who help me with their discreet but endless presence.
