The treatment of the Pelvis is the foundation of Osteopathic care. This course will examine in further detail the 22 major axes movements of the pelvis with emphasis on the piriformis syndrome and gynecological issues. The course sets out to explore and develop knowledge of a wide range of manual processing related to structural, functional, fascial and viscera along the pelvis.

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 coxa-femoral joint may induce a strain of the piriformis potentially resulting in a pelvis with hemi-nutcracker pathology.

Over the course of 5 seminars (4 days each) we will explore in detail lesion mechanics, as well as the precise diagnostic tests before any correction.

Each seminar is dependent on one another. The practitioner will acquire a large number of applicable techniques for use in their clinic (photos of techniques and description will be distributed at the end of each seminar). The practical portion of the course will include demonstrations and practice treatment sessions to control the pelvis.

Course outline:

• Review and dependent considerations of the 22 main axes of the pelvis: description, injury mechanisms, visceral etc. orthopedic, functional implications,...

• Analysis and explanations of all anatomical relationships of the pelvis with viscera (digestive, gynecological and bladder).

• Standardization and treatment of the pelvic digestive dysfunctions.

• Standardization and treatment of the pelvic bladder dysfunctions.

• Standardization of approaches and treatments of gynecologic pelvic dysfunctions.

• Application: Clinical Cases

• Examination & Graduation Ceremony

• 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.
