In this 3 days course David Lachaize will give a practical introduction into the modality of work, that he calls “Manipulation Structerelle Tissulaire”. Step by step, he will clarify the basic concepts of this work. And he will explain, why this work is not based on using force and that it is…

In this three days workshop we will learn how to evaluate and treat the function of the Psoas muscle. As we know from anatomy the psoas moves our legs and not our backs. However the psoas also contributes  to the inner dynamics  of inner spaces in front of the back. By that it has influence on…

Jean-Pierre Barral had started almost 30 years ago to teach his course about Visceral Manipulation of the thorax for the munich group. Based on his teachings we offer the traditional tests and treatment techniques for the thorax.
We will start to invetigate the motion of breathing, especially…

Since the first FASCIA RESEARCH CONFERENCE in 2007 many assumptions about the plasticity of fascia have been questioned. There are numerous new insights and even more speculations about the processes that we stimulate while doing manual treatment. More than ten years ago, Peter Schwind had the…

This course requires the participation in the course „A Manual Approach To The Brain – Part 1“.

The second part of the course about the brain focuses especially on functional aspects. There will be detailed practical instruction for techniques that relate to the senses and their connections…

The brain will always be fascinating fort he world of medicine and science. And despite all the research it will be mysterious.
The modern methods of imaging have made exceptional progress. Nowadays it is possible to explore not only structural but also functional problems by using functional…

This second part of the course about abdominal structures of the organs deals with the colon, the pancreas, the spleen and the kidney. This second part follows the same emphasis of the first part: the traditional modes of working with the organs will be combined with the new perspectives and…

In this course we will study the manual diagnostics and treatment of scoliosis present in different age groups. We will focus on specific techniques for teenagers and for adult people. Our main goal is to understand that the scoliotic pattern is present within all the elements of the human…

Learning difficulties are frequently seen problems in the osteopathic practice. Artificially they can be divided into primary and secondary problems. In primary problems the cause can be found in the central nervous system.  

These problems are hard to influence, and the child must learn to…

In this course we will focus on dysfunctions of the upper extremity epicondylitis, carpal tunnel syndrome, dysfunctions of the thumb and arthrosis around the hand and the fingers. And we work with the lower extremity (dysfunctions of the hip, the knee and the ankle).

In this new version of…

This new format of our visceral courses focuses during the first part (three days) on liver, stomach, gall bladder, duodenum and small intestine. There will be clear instruction for anatomical topology, for detailed tests of mobility and motility of the organs, for their relations with vessels…

In this cranial course we’ ll refine the techniques we’ve seen in the viscerocranium and continue to the neurocranium.
We learn how to test the bones and how to correct them in regard of their sutural connections, at…

Trauma has immediate and long term influence on structure and function of the body.
This class will focus on both these effects.
In the thorax we will differentiate manually the effects on the ribcage:
the costo-vertebral joints, cartilages, the sternum and the ribs themselves; especially the…

For AT Still the Autonomic Nervous System was one of the most import systems in the development of disease. For AT Still, in a time where the knowledge of physiology was poor, the anatomy was very important. The relationship between the spine, the organs and the ANS was so clear that it was…

Some joints of the human body are closely linked to visceral organs. Therefore, when confronted with visceral dysfunctions we might easily be mislead to take them for a joint issue, which at first sight is of solely biomechanical nature/quality. However physical reality and her inner…

We all know from practice that the results of Visceral Manipulation have a lasting effect. We could demonstrate in some cases, that a single mobilisation of the kidneys shows the result even four years after the treatment. However many clients ask: „ Is there something that I can do myself?“…
