The Gastrointestinal System in Osteopathy: Peritoneal System and Visceral Mobility
Introduction
Looking to enhance your knowledge and skills in osteopathic anatomy and physiology related to the gastrointestinal system? Look no further than this comprehensive and practical course, which will provide you with the tools and techniques necessary to evaluate and treat dysfunctions in the peritoneal system and visceral mobility.
Throughout the course, you will learn about the relationship between the autonomic nervous system and the musculoskeletal system, as well as the connection between the intestinal microbiota, immune system, neuroendocrine system, and central nervous system. The VDrop test and tests of the central aponeurotic axis will be presented and applied as differential diagnosis tools, enabling you to diagnose the site of dysfunction and choose the most appropriate techniques for each individual patient.
This course is designed to provide a complete approach to the gastrointestinal visceral system, enabling you to perform a comprehensive evaluation and treatment of dysfunction in the primary, somatic, visceral, cranio-sacral, and autonomic nervous systems. By the end of the course, you will have developed a clinical evaluation process that will enable you to choose the best approach for each patient, based on their unique needs and dysfunctions.
This course is ideal for professionals looking to enhance their daily practice and improve patient outcomes. Don’t miss your chance to gain new skills and knowledge in osteopathic anatomy and physiology related to the gastrointestinal system – enrol today!
