Focus: Organs related to the cervical spine and the upper and middle thoracic spine

Lungs – Heart – Esophagus – Stomach – Liver

Key topics:

• Anatomy of the organs and their direct/indirect relationship to the spine

• Physiology and Pathophysiology

• Functional Disorders and Their Causes

• Distinction from psychosomatic and other clinical conditions

• Medical History & Diagnostics: Local/General Listening, Thermodiagnostics, Connective Tissue Zones, Organ Tests

• Introduction to Manual Therapy and Osteopathic Techniques

• Practical exercises on direct and indirect techniques from visceral and fascial therapy

• Developing effective treatment plans

• Guidelines for

• intensive practice of all relevant fingering techniques

The participants:

• understand the anatomical and functional relationships between the lungs, heart, esophagus, stomach, and liver and the cervical spine as well as the upper and middle thoracic spine.

• understand how functional organ disorders develop and how they affect spinal symptoms.

• can apply diagnostic techniques such as general listening, local listening, thermodiagnostics, and specific organ tests.

• learn to apply specific osteopathic and manual therapy techniques for mobilizing and treating these organs.

• can develop structured treatment plans, put them into practice, and effectively integrate them into their daily work.

This course is designed to enable therapists to identify relevant chains of lesions, treat them effectively, and thereby significantly expand their therapeutic approach for patients with spinal conditions
