The Fascinating Function of the Vagus Nerve in the Practice of Osteopathy
Philippe Druelle, D.O.
Prerequisites
D.O.M.P., D.O., 4-year students and up
This course is very useful for our patients and our practice to fight pain and inflammatory process, stimulate the immune system and restart the health mechanism and self-regulation.
The vagus nerve is a mixed nerve, sensory-motor, and parasympathetic.
Presentation
The vagus nerve is a protector of health, a harmonizer, and a channel of dialogue between the brain and the organs in both directions. Considered as the 6th sense, it informs us about our inner life, its needs, and the expression of our balance. It is in relation to about ten different locations in the brain. Omnipresent, it is the masterpiece of the parasympathetic system.
Objective
The participants will be able to apply the methods learned during the course with their patients. They will also be able to strengthen the action and stimulate the functions of the vagus nerve, fight against inflammatory phenomena, pain, and boost the immune system, etc.
Learning to work well with the vagus nerve in our daily practice brings great satisfaction. The objective of this seminar is to teach you how to relieve patients with acute, chronic, and complex pain. Philippe Druelle began discovering techniques and methods to normalize the vagus nerve and the Cannon-Böhm zone at the same time as he developed methods to heal the brain in 1982.
Course flow
- A one-hour presentation on its functions and where it is most vulnerable. New scientific discoveries on the role of the vagus nerve. How to interact with this system directly and indirectly. The vagus nerve is a nerve of the central chain and master of the plexuses.
- The relationship between the orthosympathetic and parasympathetic systems and the clinical symptomatology we must verify and evaluate.
- Clinical practice and methodology at the solid matrix and fluid flow levels and in resonance with stillness. Therapeutic indications for each level. The vagus nerve and the breath of life and more precisely the life field.
- Vulnerable areas to be assessed and treated.
- The Cannon-Böhm zone - relationship with the brain, the sympathetic and parasympathetic system. The internal balance of the person in relation to the psychosocial, emotional, and metabolic environment in protocols 1 and 2. The role of the vagus nerve at the social level.
- Restore the balance between the patient's inner world and the environment.
- Brain-heart and the vagus nerve.
- Brain-mesentery and vagus nerve.
- Brain-uterus and the vagus nerve.
- Practices on the vagus nerve stimulation and inhibition, indications and contraindications, and the different methods.
Teaching and learning methods
- PowerPoint presentation.
- Practical demonstrations.
- Practice sessions after demonstrations.
- Validation of palpation and work methodology.
- Encourage the student to reflect and discuss the concepts presented and compare their perception of their practice with the information learned during this course.
Speaker
Philippe Druelle, osteopath, professor of osteopathy for 40 years, and much appreciated international lecturer will share his knowledge and experience with the participants with great generosity and will bring solutions in this very useful field. His work focuses on the dynamics of the brain and the interrelationships between the central nervous system, the vagus nerve, and the brain. He has done several types of research in Russia on the brain self-regulation system and on the physiology of the spinal cord.

Shoulder and Shoulder Girdle Dysfunctions:
Applied Fascial Release (AFR) and Therapeutic Exercises
4-DAY SEMINAR
starting December 1 to 4, 2022
Shoulder and Shoulder Girdle Dysfunctions: Applied Fascial Release (AFR) and Therapeutic Exercises
Paul Evans, D.O.
Prerequisites
3rd Year Student and up
Objectives
- Do you know the five most frequently encountered shoulder problems? Do you know how to distinguish them and work on them effectively?
- Do you know that the shoulder is the most unstable joint in the body and depends entirely on the balance of the surrounding muscles? To help your patients, it is necessary to have an understanding of the muscular and myofascial system as well as validated tools.
- Do you know how to interpret the various dysfunctional movements of the glenohumeral and scapula? And how to transform this impression into an effective osteopathic intervention?
- Do you know that most people after the age of 40 will have a rotator cuff tear and with the knowledge of the AFR approach, you can help prevent this problem?
- Do you have several patients who consult you for shoulder problems? Do you feel comfortable and effective in assessing the muscles, biomechanics and stability of the shoulder?
- Would you like to learn more about how to counsel your patients to get them relief as quickly as possible?
- The AFR approach is probably the missing key!
Includes
- A 4-day seminar with a link to the lecture notes, in the form of a PowerPoint, for a limited time before and after the training date;
- A certificate of completion of the training.
Important
We will deliver the course in two parts. The first part will be an animated video on PowerPoint, which will cover the theoretical aspect and will be sent to you one month in advance. **Make sure you are familiar with the theory. The second part will be hands-on workshops to prepare you for the clinical integration of the material.
Please realize that this theory section is the basis for the practical concepts. It is strongly suggested that you review and have a good understanding of the musculoskeletal, articular and neurovascular anatomy of the shoulder girdle, as well as the orthopedic testing of the shoulder.
No filming of the seminar is permitted. Photos are allowed with permission of the instructor.
Adequate theoretical preparation is required for the practical portion of this course.
