    Course description

    The role of organ character and physiologic activity in Osteopathy

    The seminar will face the new challenges in Visceral Osteopathy. Activity, not function, is at the heart of an osteopathic approach to organs. Organ physiology describes different tissues in states of activity; Osteopathy should be based in such a physiologic understanding.

    We look at the character differences between hollow and vascular organs and establish a sound system of assessing the main mechanical expressions of organ activity: elasticity, volume, motion, form and position. A venous sponge like the liver will need a different approach than the mucosa-dominate small intestine. As well as the arterial sponge of the spleen will show important differences compared to the venous liver.

    Following the logic offered by organ physiology, we develop an osteopathic equivalent of the three main stages of activity: rested activity, hyper- and hypo-activity. One of the challenges we are facing is the integration of the osteopathic system of function/dysfunction in the physiological system of states of organ activity. The seminar offers ways to treat the two main issues in organ activity: persistent hyperactivity and hypoactivity.

    Objectives:

    • Study the states of tissue activity.
    • Explore the mechanical expression of tissue activity (= qualities): elasticity, volume, motion, form and position
    • Understand the clinical importance of differences in organ character
    • Treat a-physiological and patho-physiological states of organ activity

    Osteopathy & Organ Charakter:


    3 days 

    Dates: 31 May - -2 June 2024

    Program:

    - Physiological states of tissue activity: rested, hyper, hypo, compensation, adaptation

    - Mechanical expression of tissue activity (= qualities):  elasticity (= stability in form), volume and volumetric changes, dynamic changes of form and position.

    - Mucosa and motility: Small intestine and stomach

    - Sisters in blood: the venous and arterial sponges of the abdomen, liver and spleen.

    - Organs of uprightness and embeddedness: lungs and kidneys

    - Treating a-physiological states of activity: non-regulated hyper, hypo ( = exhaustion and instability, loss of form and position.

    - The organ character in shaping the therapeutic relationship

    - Clinical issues: reversible or not?  A-physiological or patho-physiological states

    - States of activity in terms of stress physiology and immune response

    - Clinical significance of a holistic, tissue based approach in Osteopathy

    Osteopathische Therapie: stabiles Gewebe, dynamische Selbstregulation, leib-seelische Unterstützung

    Alle Leiden und Freuden des Lebens drücken sich in unserem Gewebe aus, in den inneren Organen, dem Bewegungsapparat und in den Nerven. Bei der osteopathischen Behandlung in unserer Praxis dürfen Sie erwarten, dass wir aufmerksam die delikate Balance der Gewebe, ihrer Fähigkeit und Einschränkung beachten und behandeln.

    Der gewebliche Ausdruck von Anstrengung und Krankheit ist der Bereich der Osteopathie. Die manuelle Behandlung erspürt den mechanischen Ausdruck der Gewebe und zielt darauf ihre Reaktionsfähigkeit zu verbessern. So werden wir im therapeutischen Prozess gemeinsam die Selbstregulation ihrer körperlichen und seelischen Kräfte anregen und Ihnen helfen den Umgang mit Anstrengung und Krankheit zu verbessern.
