The Course is composed of three phases, each taking about one year (four weekends practical courses) to complete:
- Phase 1 – Finding the lesion
- Phase 2 – Resolving the causal lesion
- Phase 3 – Masterclass advanced approaches
Location: Frome, Somerset, UK.
Prerequisite for applicants:
- Must be a qualified osteopath.

Course outline:
By the end of the phase 1 course you should be able to confidently and reliably diagnose the causal lesion and it’s compensatory pattern with all patient cases. You will be able to explain the emergence of symptoms from a perspective rooted in osteopathic principles using neurological and mechanical connections.
What is the Beta version?
Year 2023 is the bright new start of this course design and is consequently offered as a Beta version. This means that delegate’s feedback is of utmost importance and it will be required to feedback one’s experience in due course. The aim is to iron out any teething difficulties associated with the novelty of this course design for the benefit of subsequent courses. The price of each weekend course is consequently reduced from £300/weekend to £200/weekend.
What is an accountability group?
An accountability group supports it’s members to remain focused on chosen aims – in this case, integrate a cause based osteopathic examination in one’s own practice. It takes form as online meetings via Zoom, attended on a weekly basis providing a structure for peer to peer support, discuss challenges and patient cases, clarify principles and methodology etc. Ad hock online sessions with the teacher are organised if a particular topic is challenging across the group.
Phase 2 – Resolving the causal lesion
Testing Methodology to ascertain which osteopathic approach is required to resolve the causal lesion and it’s compensatory pattern. This includes interaction with all fields of osteopathy and beyond- biomechanical, physiological, nutritional, hormonal, emotional, generational, field, biodynamic.
Duration: The course consists of eight practical days to be attended in person, divided into four weekends and runs over a whole year. There is an interval of approximately 3 months between each weekend course to allow delegates to integrate the learning outcomes into their daily practice.
