Urogenital Manipulations for Female and Male Pelvic Disorders
Very often patients are visiting their osteopath for health problems that originate, in fact after manual examination, far away from the evoked symptom, and are finally found to be related to disorders of their urogenital system.
This course is designed for osteopaths wanting to perfect their initial training, but also for experienced osteopaths to improve and update their skills for the treatment of both female and male pelvic disorders.
