Osteopathy is a manual therapy with a holistic view of the human body – with benefits recognized by the World Health Organization – with the aim of restoring the balance of structures and systems of human anatomy (joints, muscles, ligaments, fascia, viscera, nervous tissue , vascular and lymphatic). It is an effective non-invasive therapy not only in case of illness but also in the preventive phase. His holistic view of the organism, in which everything is connected and related, makes the therapist focus not on the problem, but mainly on its causes.
In this Advanced Course in Complementary Osteopathic Techniques, a line of teaching is created centered on students, promoting a culture of research and critical reflection that develops and integrates knowledge and skills of basic sciences, osteopathic principles and Ayurvedic knowledge.
