Embryology & Anatomy Review of Phase I
Stephen Kisiel D.O.

This is a review course of Phase I of the Biodynamics of Osteopathy that will incorporate an in depth embryology and anatomy slide review of functions and structures related to the teachings in Phase I.

Each day we will review teaching slides and perform hands-on practical sessions based on the areas we cover using the principles of treatment of Phase I.  We will also review the embryologic process of creation, growth & development, and the unfolding of life in line with the teaching of the Biodynamics and Biokinetics of human development described by Dr. Blechschmidt.

Areas of study will include the early development of the central nervous system & ventricular system, sciatic nerve, interosseous membrane, segmentation of the notochord, and development of the cranial base & vault.

Practical sessions to include:
Intra-osseous breathing of the cranial bones
Long axis decompression and rebalancing

Protoplasm and Balanced Fluid Tension
Motion present of the CNS and ventricular system
Segmentation of the notochord – treating embryologic segments
Shakedown – Transmutation of Tissue to Fluid to Potency to Stillness & Wholeness

Sutherland’s Perceptual Odyssey
Tempo and Synchronicity
Autonomic Nervous System – Brainstem and Sacral Plexus

Treatment of the Interosseous membrane and Sciatic Nerve
