Dr Laseter is a board-certified physician in Neuromusculoskeletal and Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine. He has four years of primary care residency training, and decades of training and teaching experience. He has been a clinical faculty member of the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine for twenty years. He served as founder and director of the Mid-Atlantic Osteopathic Study Group for 17 years, which trained over 500 students in the cranial concept of osteopathic medicine and facilitated continuing medical education for the development of a group of DO’s capable of practicing osteopathic manipulation at the specialty level. Dr Laseter was consulted on patient care by Johns Hopkins University, the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, and other regional medical institutions. His primary focus has always been serving patients. After 30 years of seeing up to 75 patients a week, he is continuing to see patients, although now on a limited basis. That’s more than 100,000 osteopathic treatments!
In addition to his clinical practice, Dr Laseter is sharing his synthesis of osteopathy and East Asian meditative healing traditions, which includes qigong (Taoist yoga), acupuncture and internal martial arts. He has held national and international workshops and has been teaching classes for 15 years. He has developed curricula for his osteopathic and medical colleagues, taiji and qigong groups, as well as acupuncturists and bodyworkers. His innovative hands-on techniques are offered as both tools to help people and as validation of energetic principles. These can be explored further at our Meditative Healing Arts of New Mexico site. There you can learn about individual sessions geared toward personal healing, health, or martial arts, as well as Zoom classes focused upon gaining health, insight, and skill with our energy body.
