Peter Levin D.O. studied Social Anthropology, Religion and Osteopathy and is teaching osteopathy for 30 years. He runs the School of Modern Osteopathy and an integrated health clinic for children and parents in Hamburg/Germany. Peter is the founding director of the German Academy of Science in Osteopathy and editor-in-chief of the Journal for Modern Osteopathy (JOMO). He has published more than 10 books and well over 50 articles. His work is published in English, Spanish, German, Italian, Polish, Russian and Chinese.
Peter belongs to the first generation of German osteopaths. After his first encounter with French-belgique schools and teachers he studied osteopathy in different settings and countries in Europe and the US. Peter finished his D.O. with a thesis on the autonomy of the enteric nervous system in 2001. 
The 10 years (1997 - 2007) of collaboration with Jérôme Helsmoortel shaped his understanding and practice and led to the publication of the „Textbook on Visceral Osteopathy“ - first in German (Thieme 2002), than English and Russian. 
Peter served from 2007 to 2012 as editor of the "German Journal of Osteopathy” and was instrumental in writing the first university-style curriculum for osteopathy with the German Osteopathic Association (VOD). In 2014 he founded the Free Osteopathic University in Hamburg which turned 2024 into the German Academy of Science in Osteopathy.
Peter’s contribution to osteopathy is about rebuilding the foundations of the profession from scratch after the many crises of the past years destroyed its clinical and ethical core. He builds osteopathic clinical practice on the three pillars of therapeutic touch in a therapeutic relationship within the framework of a bio-mechanical understanding of health and disease. His research focuses on the development of embodiment and embeddedness, especially the role of sensorimotor, emotional and cognitive stability in developing health.
Over the last years Peter established the School of Modern Osteopathy: a four-year curriculum rebuilding the house of osteopathy on the foundations of the European tradition of finding truth through lab-experience and fearless as well as rigorous debates. Peter is as much a therapist and teacher as he is an artist and inventor. His passion is to build an osteopathic culture that mediates the perceptual base of clinical hands-on work with our scientific ambitions to establish safe and effective treatment. His mantra is: “Osteopathy will creat again”.
