Diaphragm – is it only a respiratory muscle?

„By it’s action we live, and by it’s failure we shrink, or swell and die“

A.T. Still

This seminar will introduce you to the skills needed for safe and effective treatment of the diaphragm using the osteopathic principle. We will focus our attention on its connection with a wide range of orthopedic and non-orthopedic symptoms.

The acquired knowledge will be immediately applicable in your practice and will complement and improve the current ways of managing your patients.
