Introduction
Welcome to the Introduction to Osteopathy in the Cranial Field course, designed specifically for physiotherapists and medical doctors seeking to expand their knowledge and skills in the field of cranial osteopathy. This comprehensive three-module course will provide you with a solid foundation in the historical background, functional anatomy, evaluation techniques, and evidence-based manual approaches in cranial osteopathy. Through a combination of theoretical knowledge and practical application, you will gain a deeper understanding of the craniosacral approach and its relevance to various physiological systems and pathologies.
By the end of this course, you will be equipped with the necessary tools to incorporate cranial osteopathy into your clinical practice effectively.Welcome to the Introduction to Osteopathy in the Cranial Field course, designed specifically for physiotherapists and medical doctors seeking to expand their knowledge and skills in the field of cranial osteopathy.
