The digestive and respiratory systems in pediatric Osteopathy

3 days workshop

A healthy digestive system at birth, when it is really functional, is necessary to prevent respiratory and sensory-nervous problems later.The visceral input and information from the digestive system follow the afferent visceral fibbers through the spinal cord, the brain stem and limbic system; then informations are sent through the autonomic nervous system in a systemic way to the body in order to maintain homeostasis. These same neuropeptides are found in the respiratory system.

This 3 days workshop will explore the anatomy, embryology and osteopathic connections. The osteopath can be a fulcrum, listening and sending vibratory informations through a vibratory fulcrum, helping the self healing process and enhancing the immunology of the baby.

This three days workshop will be essentially practical.

Main steps:

• What is life?
• Dynamic Embryology
• Anatomy from the endoderm
• The polyvagal system
• Midlines
• The diaphragms
• Osteopathic principles adapted in pédiatry
• Sensoriality and the three cranial vertebrae
• Digestive, respiratory and elimination systems
• Consequences on the immune system

Techniques:

• Practices on one self
• Dynamic endodermal embryologic memories
• Dural tube and midlines
• Extra cellular matrix and 7 diaphragms
• Practices on mesentery and digestiv fasciae
• Thoracic cylinders
• Pelvic diaphragms
• Vibratory fulcrums and neutral
• Cranial practices on the immune system

Some exercices can be done in the nature.
