Maxwell Fraval, LLB, DO (UK), MOsteoSc(Paed), a British-trained, Australian osteopath, has worked to advance osteopathic understanding and practice for over 40 years. In addition to developing innovative approaches to the treatment of babies and children and contributing to research projects, he has taught and mentored generations of osteopathic practitioners.
Beginning in the 1990s, Fraval and a dedicated group of colleagues have pursued extensive study of the blood, vasculature, and heart. This pursuit began with clinical observations and experiences they had with patients and the positive changes seen with osteopathic treatment. Since then, they carried on with extensive research to gather scientific support for their clinical observations. This path culminated in the development, by Fraval and his colleagues, of The Rule of the Artery courses which are taught internationally, and the publication of Osteopathy Is in the Blood.
Maxwell Fraval received his undergraduate osteopathic degree in England in 1978 and his masters' level degree in pediatric osteopathy in Australia in 1998. He has extensive additional training through post-graduate courses taken in Europe, Australia, and the US. He has been involved in osteopathic teaching throughout his career and in Australia he has been instrumental in the development of several teaching programs and helped found two teaching foundations.
In 2012 he established the Australian Research College of Osteopathic Medicine, Ltd. This is a non-profit public company with the mission of promoting and carrying out educational and research activities. Mr. Fraval has several published papers in osteopathic journals and has contributed chapters for two osteopathic textbooks.
Mr. Fraval is a leading scholar in osteopathic manipulative medicine in general and osteopathy in the cranial field in particular. He, along with his colleagues in Australia and New Zealand, has developed a unique and innovative understanding in his application of osteopathy. He will be sharing this osteopathic knowledge and skills with US physicians who will benefit by being able to incorporate these approaches into their own clinical practices for the benefit of their patients. In addition, many of the US physicians attending the course are themselves teachers in post-graduate education and several of them are faculty at various US colleges of osteopathic medicine. And so there will be significant opportunities for exchange between Mr. Fraval and US faculty from around the country. Another task for Mr. Fraval is to begin to develop a select group of physicians here in the US that can become specialized in this approach and continue a high level of teaching in this subject.
Mr. Fraval came to osteopathy via by way of a significant career change inspired by inner guidance, and he has been on a continuing journey of discovery into the benefits of osteopathic treatment ever since. It was through treating his baby son who had projectile vomiting that he became aware of the effectiveness of osteopathic care of babies and children. The osteopathic care of these young ones is for Maxwell an ongoing source of wonder at the strength of the response that can be achieved with these patients.
Mr. Fraval trained at the British School of Osteopathy and subsequently joined its Board of Governors. He also served on the board of the General Council of Registered Osteopaths. Maxwell began teaching undergraduates in the UK in 1979, and in 1985, after moving to Australia, he joined the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology (RMIT) as a part-time lecturer. RMIT was the first university in Australia to run an osteopathic degree course. In 1993,
Mr. Fraval pioneered the first Osteopathic Pediatrics degree in Australia leading to a master’s degree at RMIT. The Sutherland Cranial Teaching Foundation of Australia and New Zealand, of which he is a founding member, was established in 1990 as a vehicle for teaching postgraduate courses. Since 2001, Maxwell has taught “Rule of the Artery” courses in Australia, NZ, USA, UK and several European countries.

Foreword
Dr. Lee, a leader in osteopathic medicine, provides a thought-provoking foreword that sets the stage for understanding the profound insights within Osteopathy is in the Blood. His career exemplifies dedication to advancing osteopathic principles, particularly in the cranial field.
Prue Eddie, MSc(Osteo), BAppSc(Osteo), and Alistair Moresi, BSc(Osteo)
The Embryology of Breathing and the Mediastinum and The Embryology of the Heart
Renowned osteopaths Prue Eddie and Alistair Moresi delve into the intricate embryological processes of the heart and mediastinum, offering fresh perspectives on osteopathic principles. Their work is enriched by the research contributions of Michael Solano, whose expertise enhances the exploration of these foundational topics.
Michael Solano, BAppSc(Osteo), DipEd(Sec), BSc(HM)
The Embryology of the Heart, The Development of the Vasculature, Ion Waves and Their Electromotive Force, and A Vascular Description of the Motion of the Primary Respiratory Mechanism
Michael Solano is an Australian osteopathic practitioner with extensive experience in researching and studying the structure and function of the heart, blood, and vasculature. His work particularly focuses on the biodynamic approach to embryology. Beyond his clinical practice, Michael teaches courses on embryology and the Rule of the Artery internationally. His passion lies in exploring the therapeutic implications of embryologic dynamics, based on his belief that the biomechanics of the embryo serve as a blueprint for human form and function. Michael contributes groundbreaking research and insight across multiple chapters, integrating osteopathic philosophy with a modern understanding of vascular function, embryology, and biomechanics.
Benjamin Stringer, DO, BSc, MHSc(Osteo)
The Development of the Vasculature
Dr. Stringer’s chapter offers a comprehensive analysis of the intricate processes involved in vascular development, underpinned by the meticulous research of Michael Solano.
