About the Workshop
A large number of patients visit osteopathic clinicians with musculoskeletal and visceral conditions for which they expect relief or symptom improvement following the application of osteopathic manipulative treatment. As such, osteopathic techniques have always been a subject of great interests to clinicians. The competent, safe and effective use and integration of these procedures in healthcare is depending on a variety of factors, from the clinical reasoning and rationale behind their use, patient tolerance, time constraints to skill levels and confidence.
This one−day course will focus on “tips and tricks” in common problem areas of the body with their symptoms, briefly review the functional anatomy, physiology and neurosciences involved in the complaint, and discuss and demonstrate osteopathic manipulative techniques and rationale strategies to alleviate the symptoms. It will discuss treatment strategies in both neuromusculoskeletal complaints, and functional systemic dysfunctions and conditions (such as for instance IBS). As a learning outcome the course with have a practical and clinical focus oriented towards immediate application of principles and techniques in patient care. A variety of techniques will be demonstrated, including Still−Techniques, HVLA, articulatory, myofascial and fascial techniques, indirect techniques and lymphatic techniques.
