Faculty and students will work together to deepen their understandings of basic osteopathic principles in a safe and ego free environment. Each student will leave the course with a better understanding of the anatomy, embryological development, and intimate connections of the respiratory diaphragm. Everyone will leave with at least two new techniques to help them in treating patients and a deeper understanding of the indwelling health within each of us and the extraordinary connection that we have with our own health, with the health in each other, with the health in our immediate surroundings and with the health in the natural world.
