Course Description
This intermediate course in osteopathic diagnosis and treatment presents information and palpatory experience that heretofore has not been available through colleges of osteopathic medicine or other teaching venues. It is the product of the clinical experience of R. Paul Lee, DO, FAAO, FCA, DABMA. We will explore how the whole of the body expresses interrelationships through the fascia and how treating one part of the body influences and is influenced by other parts. Those who have taken a percussion hammer course will recognize the relationships we teach in this course, but without the vibrator.
One full day will be spent on a subject that revolutionized and drove Dr. Lee’s clinical and personal life – querying the tide for its ultimate intelligence. It informs the physician on what anatomic part am I palpating, what do I do next in this case, or what’s good for me to eat?
Then, we will learn how to treat inflammation in the body by downregulating the seven neurological centers of the Central Autonomic Network in the brain, a most useful technique. We will learn how the brain is a dynamo and how this informs our understanding of a CV4. Finally, we will learn how to work on the traumatized brain.
This course takes the student from familiar territory and structural clues to less familiar ground in treating energetic influences and the nervous system directly. This progression allows one who is not experienced in treating the brain to become capable. But from the beginning, new approaches to old problems are presented.
