Osteopathic Neuro Functional Seminar

Tensegrity in the treatment of stress in couples, pregnant women, babies and children


Course for osteopathic practitioners and osteopaths D.O. taught by François Amigues, Manual Osteopathic Practitioner D.O., and Jean-Pierre Amigues, Osteopath D.O.

For the past 20 years Francois’s work has focused on working on osteopathic neurology with couples, pregnant women and newborns. 

His father, Jean-Pierre Amigues will share tips and syntheses gathered over more than 50 years of practice and clinical discoveries in osteopathy.

This course will allow you to experience and read in the body's tissues how a stress impacts the central nervous system, the neuro-vegetative system and the organs. It then impacts the peripheral nerves which modify the fascias, to finally "fuse" before a strong dysfunction. 

From this reading based on the midline, the path of lesions can be reversed and the cognitive meaning from the neurological chains in distress can be understood, allowing us to accompany our patient in the mind and in the body by using automatic release fulcrum. 

It is a wonderful way to fulfill the triple action intended by Andrew Taylor Still, which consists in letting the life act through us in the structure, the mind and the fluids. It opens up a new field to work with a larger team of practitioners such as acupuncturists, coaches and psychiatrists.

Themes:

- The neuro-functional approach of osteopathy with the importance of its cognitive component.

- The perinatal roots of primal health.

- Understand and use the midline.

- Reading and psychosomatic interpretation of fixation points.

- In the case of recurrent pathologies, discussion about the vibratory state of a patient. Teachings about ways to go in search of the patient's memories.

This seminar explores:

1. ways to search for the primary lesion of the treatment by reading the midline in its tensegrity;

2. ways to find the neurological link between brain, organs and muscle chains;

3. ways to determine the differential diagnosis between peripheral and central neurology, and the somatic integration of neuro cognitive releases of stress.

Since the research of Rosch (1981) and Perkins (1994) we know that 80% of medical consultations result from biologic stress in the body. Since then, neuroscience has gained understanding about how unmanageable brain stress is transferred to an organ in relation to that stress. If it can not in turn manage this stress, it will be transferred to the precise emergence of a peripheral nerve that will stress a myofascial chain, impacting structures and functions in relation to it.

Reading the midline in tensegrity is an accurate diagnostic tool that will allow you to read these 3 levels of stress damping, understand the cognitive meaning and apply the appropriate osteopathic treatments to trace this sequence of tensions from the peripheral nervous system to the vegetative nervous system to the central nervous system.

For each lesion, reading the mechanical, emotional, epigenetic, or transgenerational level, will determine the proper interface to cause effective tissue self-correction. The tensegrity tests will allow us to check the effectiveness of our correction. Integration will be through the resilience of the side effects of adhesions, compressions or connective distractions disrupting the vessels, nerves, fasciae and parenchyma, and by an awareness leading to a personal and multidisciplinary work.
