Midline and Ignition
Osteopathic Foundations, 4B
Highlighting and deeply exploring
Central Stillness and its implications
Elizabeth Caron D.O.
Announcing a new series of biodynamically inspired work called Osteopathic Foundations with related undergraduate OsteoBasic courses.
Osteopathic Foundations will be a series of 10 courses designed to take the practitioner through Osteopathic principles: biodynamic, biokinetic, the work of Rollin Becker, and motion via stillness. This series is designed for reviewing basic Osteopathic principles, at all levels, and incorporate them into everyday hands on practice. This form of traditional Osteopathy will include detailed study of anatomy and embryology from the work of Drs Eric Blechschmidt and A.T. Still. Students will come understand that embryologic movements are the healing forces for growth and development throughout life and how the Ocean and Tide help incarnate this process.
Dr. Caron was directly mentored by Dr. James Jealous for the last 25 years of his life. She also has been mentored by one of Dr. Rollin Becker’s principle students, Jacque Duval, D.O. In addition she studied with Ann Wales D.O., and extensively with Dr. Hugh Ettinger a longtime student of Dr. Wales. These are all direct lineages from Dr. William G. Sutherland.
Furthermore, Dr. Caron will incorporate her extensive background with movement into the series which comes from her years as a professional modern dancer and a student of multiple movement techniques including Klein, Alexander, Feldenkrais, and Pilates. These concepts will be incorporated to help support the changes made with Osteopathic treatments. Previous movement / compensatory patterns can shift and Osteopathic treatments incarnate into our daily motion and being.
This is original work- incorporating biodynamic, biokinetic, traditional Osteopathy, and movement, brings into light the true self unhindered…the emergence of originality.
This class will be taught in English with French translation.
We are only as functional as our relationship to midline. It is our orientation to ourselves and our surroundings and is intricately related to ignition on many levels. The ignition needs to be functioning so the midline can feed the whole and in turn the midline feeds the ignition. It is reciprocal. This relationship of feeding and being fed from the Central Stillness, the ignition and the Ocean will be explored in interactive lectures and hands on practicals.
In addition, understanding that the midline is a central function rather than an anatomical structure and how segmentation and function of neuro, visceral, muscular and vascular elements occur in relation to midline will also be addressed.
