Osteothai Principles & General Overview with Bojan Babic

About Osteothai :

‍
Osteothai is the integration of osteopathic principles and techniques into Thai massage, a bridge between East and West. It’s a form of bodywork that combines extraordinary creative and powerful Thai massage techniques with the precise and gentle touch of osteopathy.

Osteothai is practised on the floor; the patient wears light comfortable clothing.

The masseur uses not only his hands but also his feet, knees and elbows. This makes for a rich and colourful approach.

Osteothai combines :

• Traditional Thai massage’s varied and powerful stretches, using long leverage techniques across muscle groups (inspired by yoga postures); and its acupressure work on energy lines and the creativity of dynamic movements of traditional Thai massage.
• Osteopathy’s release of tissue tension and work on restriction of mobility.

Osteothai has been created by David Lutt and Arno L’hermitte, two French osteopaths in love with Thai massage. Each of them then has developed the concept according to their views and inspirations, allowing Osteothai to be a living and constant evolution.

This dense and colorful course brings us into the Universe of Osteothai.

We learn the Osteopathic Principles on which all the techniques used in Osteothai are based.

Thus it gives students the opportunity to get a general overview of the different topics covered in our training :

• articular peripheral system (ankle, knee, hip)
• treatment of the spine (lower back pain, approach of the cervical region)
• visceral system and its relations to the pelvic ball
• setting free the breathing process
• approaching the craniosacral system

Precise and powerful techniques will be taught to adapt your massage to the needs of your Western patients.

During this 5-day course, we focus on :

– UNDERSTANDING OSTEOPATHIC PRINCIPLES

– LEARNING PRECISE AND POWERFUL OSTEOTHAI TECHNIQUES

– DEVELOPING OUR TOUCH

– THERAPEUTIC TARGETS

– IMPORTANCE OF INTEGRATION

Certification :
