THE VASCULAR TREE DYNAMICS, MICROCIRCULATION AND THE PRESSURE MECHANISM
- Date: March 20 - 23, 2025
- Prerequisites: D.O., D.O.M.P. Student 5th year and more
- Language: English
- Code: VDMPV
Course Description
The immune and nourishment dynamics of the vascular tree and its neuro-endocrine modulation system constitute an important element of the body’s ability to autoregulate. The vascular tree represents an embryological developmental axis which remains as a biomechanical, biodynamic and bioenergetic reference of coherence for the physiology. The microcirculation represents the medium of cellular exchanges constituting the metabolic terrain of physiology and the site of primary dysfunction of many conditions.
The pressure mechanism represents an adaptive functional unit to the body’s requirements to preserve cellular exchanges and homeodynamics with the environment.
This practical workshop will explore the vascular tree, microcirculation and the pressure dynamics to reconstitute a structural and functional integrity, allowing patients presenting CHRONIC CONDITIONS to improve.
For example:
- Chronic pain conditions including fibromyalgia and CRPS
- Vascular dysfunctions (HBP, arrhythmia, etc)
- Immune defense vulnerabilities (parasitosis, leaky gut, etc)
- PNEI terrain precursors
SYNOPSIS OF PRACTICAL WORKSHOP:
- Restoring
the
vascular
tree
dynamics:
- Work from the heart to the primary trunks (aorta, VC, thoracic ducts) towards the periphery (Cranium, Spine, UEs, LEs).
- Integration of the tensegrity, resonance and radiance of the vessels in relation to viscosity and flow quality and work on autonomic and endocrine regulation in connection with the vascular unit according to presentation.
- Clearing
of
microcirculation:
- Work on primo-vascular dynamics and intra-extracellular synergy in relation to cellular metabolic activity.
- Restoring
the
pressure
mechanism:
- Work of the anterior-posterior, medio-lateral and cephalic-caudad interactions of the different compartments in relation to the physiological gutters, the vascular tree and the diaphragmatic synergy.
- Integration of the interaction between the tissue frame and fluid dynamics for an optimal expression of Potency.
- Harmonisation of the vascular unit and pressure dynamics to the person and their coherence.
This work is an adjunct to traditional fascial, fluidic and energetic work. It is a complementary efficient and useful tool to assist patients with complex and systemic conditions:

- Date: October 2 – 5, 2025
- Prerequisites: D.O., D.O.M.P. Student 5th year and more
- Language: English
- Code: OPV
Course Description
4-day workshop, focused on the clinical evaluation methodology that gives you the basic keys to structure your daily intervention with pediatric clients. The training workshop is intended for osteopathic graduates and osteopaths who wish to consolidate complementary knowledge in perinatal and pediatric osteopathy.
The following themes will be addressed (3 days):
- Overview of the subjective assessment specific to the pediatric clientele (anamnesis);
- Objective assessment of the newborn (Amiel-Tison observation & routine);
- The methodology of objective assessment by age group (6 months and above);
- Postural observation and the walking pattern;
- Specific evaluation of the pelvis, spine and lower limbs;
- Clinical methodology (osteopathic techniques);
- Classroom consultations to integrate the concepts covered;
- Discussion focused on intervention in the clinic: information to give to parents, advice, exercises and positioning.
Clinical Day (October 5th):
The last day of training will be a clinical day where we will receive newborns, infants and young children in class to integrate the masterful component with the clinical component. It is an opportunity for the participant to observe real consultations and to give feedback on them.

The specification of osteoarticular adjustments in osteopathy
- Date: March 27 to 30 2025
- Prerequisites: D.O., D.O.M.P. Student 5th year and more
- Language: English
- Code: BAOH
Course Description
During this seminar, we will guide you to properly perform osteoarticular adjustments using the energetic impulse.
This is the best method. It is easy, gentle, precise, and very effective. It uses the concept of a beautiful harmony between biomechanics and biodynamics to obtain the bioenergetic quality necessary for the vital force to return to the joint and suppress the inertia due to the traumatic shock.
Practice description
- The concepts of the method, the discussion with Tom Dummer, D.O., the notion of muscle barrier and accumulation of tension. The nature of energetic impulse - details on the method. The vagus nerve and adjustments by energetic impulse.
- Clinical
and
practical
applications
- Indications and contraindications.
- Preparation for energetic impulse methods by Deason, D.O., and McConnell, D.O.
- Recoil for pelvis and ribs.
- The sacrum according to Thomas Dummer, D.O.
- Ribs 1 and 2, C7, D1, D2, and the 3 normalization methods by impulse.
- C0/C1/C2 the pseudo-rotation.
- Shoulder, high dorsals, and first ribs according to A.T. Still, D.O.
- Costal grill, according to John Wernham, D.O., the costo-transverses and compacted rib heads.
- The Iliac, by Harold Magoun, D.O. and Jean-Guy Sicotte, D.O.
- Calcaneus and high scaphoid, the head of the anterior fibula, the astragalus embedded under the anterior and posterior malleolus.
- Adjustments of the lumbar vertebrae by considering the central chain as a reference for the impulse.
- The cervicals and the dura mater, Thomas Schooley, D.O.
- L5 adjustments and herniated disc. The importance of vascular and venous pressures in the phenomenon of herniated discs, the importance of lesions of the high lumbar vertebrae in hernias L5/S1 and L4/L5.
- The clinical methodology for integrating these techniques into your practice.
Objectives of this seminar
At the time when we are in the process of having a professional order, it is essential that osteopaths practice an excellent method that is different from other professions that use manipulations. We have chosen strategic places, very useful for our patients. All techniques will be "upgraded" for better practice.
Teaching and learning methods
- PowerPoint presentation
- Practical demonstrations
- Practice sessions after demonstrations
- Validation of palpation and work methodology
- Encourage the student to reflect and discuss the concepts presented and compare their perception of their practice with the information learned during this course.
