INTRODUCTION TO THE FUNDAMENTALS OF CRANIAL OSTEOPATHY
Level I
SUMMARY OF CURRICULUM
This Combination Live Video Classes and Group In-Person Workshops course will teach the practitioner to understand the structure and function of the Cranial Mechanism for a Biomechanical approach (Sutherland). This course was designed for Manual Therapists who do not have full training in the classical Biomechanical Cranial Osteopathy and need to learn the fundamentals in order to participate in future more advanced continuing education courses with the ICEO where the use of Cranial Osteopathy is an integral part of Osteopathic Treatment. It also prepares a student to take Part II and our Advanced Cranial Pathologies series.
