Intensification & Integration

Osteopathy in the
Visceral Field

Course description

An extensive course (3 x 3 days) as an in-depth study of osteopathy in the visceral range. Starting from the (already known) basic knowledge, we quickly look at anatomy, physiology and pathology, but mainly focus on the osteopathic perspective. Osteopathy in the visceral field is relatively young and not so well known, but popular. With over 35 years of experience in teaching, dissection, and practice, details, science, and personal practical application are taught in theory and practice. In particular, the scientific substantiation and application of tests and techniques in daily practice are examined.

A course with an emphasis on traditional craftsmanship, precise palpation at a high level and daily practice, to actually help the patient in the many disorders that we encounter in osteopathic practice.

Contents:

  1. Concept of osteopathy in the visceral field, Oesophagus, Gaster, Duodenum, Intestinum.
  2. History of the visceral field, Colon, Hepar, V. Biliaris, Ren
  3. V. Urinaria, Rectum, Pancreas, Lien, Integration of the above.

Possible extension to Cor, Pulmones, Endocrinology, Apertureta, BBRS.
