The Author
Dr. Krishna Murari Modi is a leading osteopath and ,
perhaps, the first one to qualify from India. He was a
practicing orthopaedist within the tradition of allopathy
till he found himself dissatisfied with the inadequacy of
this method in treating various types of aches and pains.
He delved deeper and discovered that osteopathy, a
therapy which could give tremendous relief to the
sufferer, remained untapped.
Widely travelled through the US - the birthplace of
osteopathy, European and Scandinavian countries, the
erstwhile USSR and the Middle East, the author has gained
firsthand knowledge of the latest advances in
manipulative therapy. He has also written extensively on
the subject.
He now runs a 100-bed hospital of alternative medicine
– Dr Modi’s Karjat Health Resort at Karjat,
Village Wanjale, Dist. Raigarh, Maharashtra. He plans to
open a training centre for osteopathy and natural
medicine shortly.
