About Jim Oschman
Academic research (1965-1980) involved the structure and function of cells and tissues, with particular reference to fluid and ion transport and the role of calcium in control of cell functions. Subsequent research (1981-present) involves explorations of the scientific basis for complementary and alternative medicines.
Modern research science is validating and explaining the beneficial effects of a wide range of complementary, alternative, and integrative therapies. Jim’s writings synthesize the science and the experience of a variety of bodywork, energetic, and movement therapies. You will find samples of Jim’s writings on this website.
Every medical tradition and every therapeutic school has a core of visionary and creative individuals who are advancing the methodology and who recognize that their work of innovation, like that of their predecessors, is never finished. Jim’s books, articles, lectures, and workshops are offered in support of these visionaries and their creative process.
Recently Jim has also become involved as a consultant in the design of medical devices, relying on his experience in biophysics and complementary medicine.
