Manon Smeesters D.O. and Gaël Würz-Minetti D.O.The Biodynamic Approach of Osteopathy (Course 1)expand_less__
(Code: BBS01)
__Description
René Briend, a student of Jacques Andréva Duval (who was himself a student of Rollin Becker), has also learned from Dr. James Jealous (D.O. USA). Over the course of years of research, he dug deep into the science of osteopathy to find the “essential”, in order to preserve and update the traditional aspects of the different teachings he received from his masters. His approach is therefore a deepening of the osteopathic concepts of Andrew Taylor Still, William Garner Sutherland, Rollin Becker, and James Jealous.
The biodynamic approach of osteopathy is based on the concept of the Breath of Life as a vital principle, present in each human being as a spiritual and original Unconscious in the body (body-soul-spirit). This approach is fundamentally non-manipulative and non-invasive. It is primarily based on perceptual touch and the “therapeutic power” of the extrinsic biodynamic fluid forces, innate or natural, and the intrinsic biokinetic fluidic forces, inherent or immanent, respectively of the Vital Principle (Breath of Life) and the vital forces (vital energy) of the Primary Respiration.
The essential specificity of the biodynamic and biokinetic osteopathic approach is to cooperate and communicate with Health and not to fight directly against lesions or illness. Through a diagnostic and therapeutic methodology, specific to each patient, it allows not only the integration of the three components (body, soul, and spirit) of our human tripartition within a dynamic functional unit, but also to access a therapeutic process and a spiritual reconnection of the whole patient with our Origin.
René Briend reminds us that “Osteopathy is one and indivisible” and that this biodynamic approach is compatible with all other osteopathic approaches. -
René Briend D.O.The pregnant woman and the postpartum (Course 8)expand_less__
(Code: BBS08)
__Osteopathic biodynamic approach of the postpartum follow-up
The birth canal and the different types of presentation of the baby, the “shape” of the birth canal is created, ordered and organized by the long tide of the Breath of Life.
Evaluation, structural and functional, of the birth canal and the type of presentation of the baby, essentially during the last phase of pregnancy:Specific disengagement of the pelvic “water bowl”, from the automatic displacement of the long tide.The process of turning over the baby by direct perceptual action on the uterine tissues, toward the primal bioelectric midline (quantic) of Health, of Neutral Essence.Clinic: feminine and masculine infertility, miscarriage, difficult pregnancy, premature birth, in vitro fertilization, non-desired babies, rapes, stress of the future mother, etc.Practical demonstrations and practice at tables.__Osteopathic biodynamic approach of the postpartum (degestation)
