Seminar Objective:

This seminar united energy, psychological, information, osteopathic and Chinese medicine approaches as well as neurofunctional reprogramming. It was the core of the seminars, which  had been carried out by J.-P. Amigues in our country before.

The seminar allowed the participants to get an integral notion of osteopathic medicine as well as to learn to follow for the "red thread" that would guide them in the maze of patients’ pathologies both in the diagnosis and in treatment.

How to diagnose more accurate?

How to establish a connection between classical osteopathic tests, neurologic data as well as information about state of vascular system and muscular chains?

What should you start the treatment with? How should you continue it? How do you know the treatment was successful?

In contradistinction to allopath's advice osteopathic physician’s advice is directed not to a symptom or disease. This approach may be comprehended only after studying mode of operation, which founder of osteopathy E. T. Still have used.

After studying of Still’s idea, participants of the seminar paid attention to factors which may influence negatively to the human health.

Seminar Program

It’s useless to treat a symptom, it’s necessary to find what is at the bottom of it.

1. Specific analysis of patient complaints
It is auditory auscultation, which is combined with visual listening. If intellect „speaks” by means of words, then the unconscious is put into means of sign language. This fact is very important when we try to find exciting cause and to diagnose.
2. Classical osteopathic checkup
For this checkup examination of oculomotor mechanism, buccal cavity and state of disease is added to.
3. Listening of „Chinese” pulses
They show us how much we set in motion our spine and craniosacral system.
4. Diagnosing
Physical damages which can be caused by fear, or non-fully experienced emotion can get reason of disease.
5. Treatment
   • General osteopathic treatment of pelvis and chest;
   • muscular chains relaxation;
   • neurofunctional reprogramming when necessary;
   • treatment of the area where somatization gives rise to functional disorder;
   • treatment of articulate and fascial fixations, arteries and nerves of that area;
   • approach to emotional disturbance.
6. Completion of the treatment
You should check if parameters become better.
If you don’t find out any improvement, it may mean that:
• diagnosis was conducted erroneously;
• conducted treatment was incorrect;
• emotion, “energy cyst”, disturbing patient vibratory state, has remained.

In this case you should change the paradigm and select other treatment, which will be counterbalance vibratory information disturbing patient health. So we will examine his vibratory condition as well as will get an opportunity to hear his old (akashic) or hidden memories.
