Björn J:son Berg, founder and President Emeritus of School of Naprapathy, has passed away.

Björn was the person who brought naprapathy from America to the Nordic region. His life's work was defined by courage and willpower, and his personality by creativity and a forward-looking spirit. Many of us are deeply grateful for this. My colleagues at School of Naprapathy and I promise to honor his legacy and continue to develop the naprapathy program for the future.
