This course is for the manual health care providers who understand that treating the symptoms is not enough to promote the self-healing process, who see the human body as a functional unit, who want to integrate in their practice the osteopathic manual practice techniques and philosophy, and who want to improve their knowledge and practical skills.

Traditional European Osteopathy consists of four pillars interlinked to each other: Visceral, Structural, Fascial, and Cranial Osteopathy. The aim of this course is to give healthcare professionals the knowledge and tools to understand a form of Structural Osteopathy called Articulatory Techniques.

Articulatory Techniques (AT) is a low to moderate amplitude and low velocity osteopathic technique where the joint is carried through its full range of motion using repetitive concentric movements by the practitioner. The goal of this manipulation is to use a passive, direct force to release pathologic or restrictive barriers of a joint and free all ranges of motion.

By using AT to harmoniously emphasize the natural motion of the target area, you can restore physiological freedom without putting stress on the surrounding structures. By reducing nociceptive signals, activating the parasympathetic nervous system, and promoting mechanotransduction processes, articulatory osteopathic manipulation can relieve somatic dysfunction and fascial tension to assist in tissue repair and recovery of the body and its biomechanics.

This is the Level 1 of 2 of the Osteopathic Manual Practice Articulatory Techniques Course. The Level 2 course will be in Fall 2022. The course is certified for Continuing Education hours by the California Physical Therapy Association (CPTA), Board of Certification for Athletic Trainers (BOC), and the California Board of Chiropractic Examiners , granting 24 CEUs for each level, 48 CEU total.
