In a two-part course series on psychosomatic osteopathy with Torsten Liem, effective practical approaches to the treatment of complex complaints and dysfunctional soma-physiological-experiential-context patterns in the clinical osteopathic setting are taught.
The main aim of this two-part course series is to convey new diagnostic and treatment approaches relevant to practice and new perspectives in the clinical application of osteopathy. On the one hand, advanced approaches and techniques are offered for osteopathy, which expand the clinical framework and the “toolbox” of practising osteopaths. On the other hand, new perspectives, principles and models make it possible to identify and link further clinically relevant factors with regard to health and allostasis that have not previously been taken into account. This is why we do not speak of a primary somatic dysfunction, but of soma-physiology-experience-context dysfunction patterns, which are taken into account in the diagnosis. We also consider which resources maintain the existing balance and which changes in the patient are possible with which osteopathic approaches at any given time.
The entire course series is designed to improve and expand the diagnostic and therapeutic approaches for challenges and complaints that arise in practice. This includes cognitive, limbic, neurovegetative, immunological, biochemical, homeostatic and allostatic processes, the consideration of sensorimotor, vital, emotional, mental and spiritual components of consciousness, new and expanded palpatory approaches, the inclusion of the biographical life path and the developmental lines for clinically relevant osteopathic approaches, the consideration of multimodal and multidimensional resources that can be activated during treatment, skills for the co-regulation of patients in order to be able to accompany them into a dynamic state of balance and flow, and the promotion of goal-oriented proactive behaviour.
Between the two parts of the course, Basic 1 and 2, there will be two-small group work via zoom.
