Cadaveric Anatomy
Deepen your palpatory precision
Examine the cervical spine in progressive layers to gain a precise, three-dimensional understanding of underlying structures.
Cervical Spine Osteopathic Technique
Refine technical accuracy while strengthening clinical safety.
Uncover the hidden architecture of the cervical spine, enabling safer, sharper and more effective osteopathic practice.
Osteopathic Principles
Rediscover anatomy as the early osteopaths understood it - through structure, function, and touch - and learn how to translate this knowledge directly into refined clinical practice.
Unlike conventional anatomy teaching, this course is purpose-built around osteopathic principles and hands-on practice.
Osteopathic treatment of the cervical spine demands confidence, precision, and anatomical mastery. Yet most osteopaths rarely get the opportunity to explore cervical structures beneath the skin directly and in three dimensions.
This unique hands-on cadaveric course bridges the gap between osteopathic principles, clinical technique, and real anatomy, giving you a deeper understanding you can apply immediately in your practice.
The morning will be in the anatomy suite, exploring and getting hands on with the cervical anatomy of body donors. With the anatomy fresh in your mind, the afternoon will be learning and refining osteopathic cervical technique on each other.
GOsC Osteopathic Standards covered: B1, B3
Cadaveric learning opportunities tailored to osteopathic technique are almost nonexistent.
