The Stillness, The Seams, and Segmentation
Osteopathic Foundations, 3B
Highlighting and deeply exploring the Long Tide and Seam
Elizabeth Caron D.O.

Announcing a new series with Dr. Caron 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 to 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 and compensatory patterns can inhibit the full incarnation of an Osteopathic treatment. One of the goals in this course series is to address these movement patterns and ensure that normal motion is supported with our movement and posture.

This is original work- incorporating biodynamic, biokinetic, traditional Osteopathy, and movement- brings into light the true self unhindered…the emergence of originality.

Stillness, Seams, and Segmentation

Osteopathic Foundations, 3B
Highlighting and deeply exploring the Long Tide and seams

This course will explore the relationship between the embryologic basis of segmentation, its relationship to Stillness, and how seams are formed. We will define embryologic fields, their significance, and how each segment reflects viscerosomatic relationships and beyond. We will reexplore what an Osteopathic segment is, vertebral, visceral, neuro, muscular and vascular; as well as stepping into the Stillness in the seams and how the embryologic and therapeutic forces emerge from them. Practicals and clinical cases will be used to demonstrate the clinical relevance and the use of these principles. There will also be the use of detailed slides to illustrate the embryotic origins of segmentation and define how the seams are formed.

Suggested prerequisites:

BioBasics, Potency, potency and the fluid in the fluid, Phases 1 through 3 or equivalent, The Brain and the Tide, Basic Cranial course given by the Cranial Academy, SCTF or international equivalent, Anatomy 101, Anatomy 102
