COURSE

23 APRIL 2007 (1 DAY) MILE END HOSPITAL, LONDON

This is a practical course and an opportunity to learn a new osteopathic approach that can be clinically used for treating a wide range of conditions. In the last two decades extensive research has demonstrated the importance of passive motion to the repair process in acute and chronic musculoskeletal conditions. Harmonic technique is characterised by passive motion, which can be applied to different areas of the body. These techniques are used to assist and direct repair processes in the body using a gentle non-painful and non-traumatic approach. The course will examine the physiological and biomechanical aspects of Harmonic Technique and the clinical application of the technique. In particular it will study the effects of Harmonic Technique on

inflammation, fluid flow (Harmonic Pump Techniques) and adaptation. Other aspects of the technique will also be discussed such as its potential neurological pain relief effects.
