COURSE DESCRIPTION

This course involves the investigation of the heart and vasculature and the fluid dynamics of the blood. Additionally the course explores the interface between the heart, the primary respiratory mechanism and the autonomic nervous system. Study of the cardiovascular system leads to the consideration of the heart as more than a pump. This course will explore the concept of the heart as a hydrodynamic and electromagnetic generator, qualities which are then imparted to the blood. The role of the heart in the integration of mind, body and spirit is also considered. “This course developed from the desire to understand what it was that Dr. Still was talking about and what he was doing in his clinical practice. It led into an exploration of the first principal of Osteopathy as described by Dr. Andrew Taylor Still, ‘The Rule of the Artery is Supreme.’ The course involves the investigation of the heart and vasculature and the fluid dynamics of the blood. Additionally, the course explores the interface between the heart, the primary respiratory mechanism and the autonomic nervous system. The study of the cardiovascular system leads to the consideration of the heart as more than a pump. This course will explore the concept of the heart as a hydrodynamic and electromagnetic generator, qualities which are then thought to be imparted to the blood. The role of the heart in the integration of mind, body and spirit is also considered.”

“Thus we find the heart to be the mother of all…” Dr. Andrew Taylor Still
 

COURSE OBJECTIVES

Andrew Taylor Still, MD, DO, the founder of Osteopathy, made the pronouncement,

“The rule of the artery is universal.” His student, William Garner Sutherland, DO said, “The rule of the artery is supreme; the CSF is in command.” This course, developed by osteopaths in Australia and New Zealand, seeks to teach these principles and the requisite skills for Osteopaths to evince these truths using osteopathic palpatory diagnosis and treatment. The student of this course will learn:

1. How to palpate the flow of blood in the heart and arteries.
2. The quality of spiral flow and turbulent flow.
3. The embryology and anatomy of the cardiovascular system.
4. The routes of venous return and the quality of that palpated blood flow.
5. The anatomy of the lymphatics and palpating that flow.
6. The anatomy of the heart, lungs and mediastinum.
7. How the heart is a generator, the brain a battery, and the autonomic nervous system the intermediary.

Michael Solano, BSc(HM) DipED(Sec) BAppSc(Osteo)'s Profile

Michael Solano, BSc(HM) DipED(Sec) BAppSc(Osteo) Related seminars and products


Michael Solano, BSc(HM) DipED(Sec) BAppSc(Osteo), received his osteopathic degree in 1992 in Australia.  He has extensive additional training through post-graduate courses taken in Australia and the US.  He has been very actively involved in post-graduate osteopathic teaching since 2009, including in a number of European countries.  He is associated with and teaches for the Australian Research College of Osteopathic Medicine, Ltd.  Particular areas of expertise in his teaching are anatomy and embryology. Mr. Solano was an editor of the Australian Osteopathic Journal for five years.

Mr. Solano was a lecturer of the OCF Fundamentals for the Osteopathic Summer & Winter Schools. During the same time, he has been teaching the ROA I and 2 courses in Australia, Europe and the USA. Dr. Solano has experience with organizing and lecturing multiple courses, please find a list of these courses in his CV. Mr. Solano is a leading scholar in osteopathic manipulative medicine in general and osteopathy in the cranial field in particular. He, along with his colleagues in Australia and New Zealand, has developed a unique and innovative understanding in his application of osteopathy. He will be sharing this osteopathic knowledge and skills with US physicians who will benefit by being able to incorporate these approaches into their own clinical practices for the benefit of their patients. In addition, many of the US physicians attending the course are themselves teachers in post-graduate education and several of them are faculty at various US colleges of osteopathic medicine. And so there will be significant opportunities for exchange between Dr. Solano and US faculty from around the country. Another task for Dr. Solano is to begin to develop a select group of physicians here in the US that can become specialized in this approach and continue a high level of teaching in this subject.
