In each of these courses, the joints will be studied with tensegrity biomechanics, relational fascial anatomy and the paradigm of complexity. The 2TLS of the upper limbs is studied in the relation to thoracic cage at both the level of muscle tendons and articular ligaments. In application, we will see the tensegrity mobilizations and structural manipulations.

These complex methodologies are based on a tensegrity model of biomechanics. If these methods are not applied correctly, the therapist becomes ineffective and can put the patient/client at risk. For example, an incorrectly adjusted glenohumeral may induce a capsular sprain at the coracohumeral ligament, potentially resulting in synovial inflammation at the bicep long head tendon affecting the performance during a swing for the golf.

Over the course of 2 seminars (4 days each) we will explore in detail lesion mechanics, as well as the precise diagnostic tests before any correction.

The practitioner will acquire a large number of applicable techniques for use in their clinic. The practical portion of the course will include demonstrations and practice treatment sessions to control the pelvis with emphasis on the lower extremity.

Course outline:

• 2TLS of tendons and ligaments of the Upper Limb

• Relational Anatomy of the Upper Limb

• Tensegrity Biomechanics of the Upper Limb

• Tensegrity Mobilization of the Upper Limb

• Structural Normalization of the Upper Limb

• Guy VOYER, DO is convinced it is necessary to return to teaching osteopathy in a non-complacent way; his approach respects traditional methods, but also takes into account progress made since Still’s time.

  Here are some examples:

• There is more and more talk of “holistic” global and interactive medicine, and we forget to apply the philosophy of complexity to teaching, practice and diagnostic and therapeutic methodology. Osteopathy is first and foremost a philosophy which is worth teaching and understanding.

• The mobility of bodily fluids is due to the constant pressure and aspiration exercised by the four principal diaphragms of the human body; however, one must know how to treat them.

• Still is the father of Osteopathy. He said, “Structure controls function”. It is, therefore, necessary to master with precision all adjustments needed for structural normalization.

• More and more illnesses are due to hormone disorders (especially in women); however, one must know how to treat hormone chains.

• Since Little John, we now know the importance of the sympathetic system in osteopathy; however, one must know how to control it.

• Sutherland made extraordinary inroads with respect to cranial work; 80 years later, in order to avoid any esotericism, one must control the anatomy and biomechanics of the cranium’s bones and membranes.

• All training programs stress the fasciae’s anatomy, biomechanics, physiology as well as their role and function.

• Guy’s emphasis on complexity has revolutionize exercise with therapy.
