Course Description
Precise palpation skills serve as the cornerstone of osteopathic clinical practice. They play a vital role in accurately assessing osteopathic dysfunctions and honing treatment techniques. Moreover, these skills enhance clinicians' efficiency, as palpatory findings largely influence the precision of clinical reasoning.
This experiential course addresses the need to obtain the skills, confidence, and clarity of meaningful and perceptive osteopathic palpation, critical to effectively practice clinical osteopathy. As a guided practice session, it offers the opportunity for DOs, MDs, DDSs, their related professional students and international osteopaths, to personally explore and practice the process to become competent in osteopathic palpation. Practiced and effective osteopathic palpation opens the door to appreciating each patient's unique inherent health potency, with the possibility to support and facilitate that potency through the challenges of disease and dysfunction. Join us on this individual experience to new possibilities of applied clinical Osteopathy.
