Course content

This weekend is aimed at osteopaths who would like to take a closer look at women’s health issues. The weekend covers all aspects of normal function in the gynecological system, starting with an overview of physiology. Students will then learn to take a meaningful gynecologic history so that they can understand the pathophysiology in this system that is not taught in the undergraduate program. From an osteopathic point of view, movement is the most important thing. In other words, the more an organ moves, the more alive and functional it will be. Therefore, the study of the anatomy not only of the organs, but also of their ligaments, fasciae and supporting bones is very important. In contrast to gynecologists, osteopaths evaluate the relationships between the organs differently, as we look at the mobility and motility of the organs not only on their own, but also in relation to each other. And we do this again because it influences the function. An example of this is a uterus with a large myoma that presses against the sigmoid colon and leads to the symptom of constipation. The course includes practical sessions using both external and internal techniques to assess the pelvis. The mechanics of the spine and its relationship to the nervous system in relation to the gynecological system are also taught to illustrate the connections between the different body systems. Cranial, visceral, functional and structural techniques are taught to give participants as many tools as possible to “fix as many problems as possible”. For those who are not willing or able to study the internal techniques, a very realistic model is used to teach the techniques so that everyone can fully participate.
