So what is Osteopathy anyway? In this seminar you will learn all about Osteopathy. What is it? How is it different from chiropractors? Craniosacral therapy? What are the principles of treatment? What is the training for Osteopaths?

We will dive into history to understand how The Science of Osteopathy came to be. We will investigate the tenets of Osteopathy and how it guides Osteopathic Treatment. We will study normal anatomy and physiology and understand how we can access anatomy to optimize physiology. And, lastly, we will paint a picture of how osteopathy can help you reconnect with your whole health - mentally, physically, and spiritually.

By the end of the seminar, our goal is for you to understand how Osteopathy can fit into your life, and be able to tell your friends and family how it can fit into theirs.

Sincerest gratitude for your interest. Looking forward to seeing you there!
