Description

This course is broken down into two sections: theory and practice of the osteopathic treatment of ear infections. The theory focuses on the eustachian tube, its function and dysfunction - we go into great detail to understand how the eustachian tube, works - how it functions in a system of other organs, its location in the cranium plus the reasons for its dysfunction. This gives the osteopath the grounding to understand the causes of Otitis Media, an important stage before moving onto the practical aspect of the course.

The practical section teaches the student to observe, examine and most importantly treat the infant with ear infections (Otitis Media). The course goes to great lengths to give the student a firm grounding in the theoretical and physiological understanding of ear infections so that the practical is grounded in a strong basis.

The technique section is unique in that it delves into multiple osteopathic approaches to the condition including classical osteopathy, cranial osteopathy and lymphatic osteopathic techniques.

The course does require a basic knowledge of anatomy, physiology and osteopathy but it suitable both for the new graduate and the experienced osteopath giving all who participate in this osteopathic training a firm knowledge and skill of the osteopathic approach to otitis media.

Who this course is for:

  • Manual therapists of all levels
