Join us for a three-day professional course combining the Osteopathic Functional Indirect Technique (F.I.T.) with cranio-sacral therapy for dogs.
The course combines essential theory with extensive practical training. We will explore relevant anatomy and biomechanics, examination and treatment of the spine, sacrum and pelvis, the cranio-sacral rhythm, cranial lesions and their treatment, as well as connections with the autonomic nervous system and the Deep Ventral and Deep Dorsal Lines.
Practical exercises will first be performed on humans to help participants develop their palpation skills and understand the method before applying the techniques to dogs.
