Module Indicative Content
At this stage, students will be competent in the biomechanics of the body and able to interpret it both in function and dysfunction. This module aims to close the gap between theory and practice by thoughtfully considering one's own experiences in applying knowledge to practice in order to improve the quality of care provided, stimulating personal and professional growth, looking at lifestyle advice and referral mechanisms and how and when these may need to be altered
Exploring structure and function relationships within specific types of pain presentations.
Consideration of the particular cases of visceral and cranial patients.
Additional integrated biomechanics and osteopathic techniques.
Formulation of differential diagnoses.
Reflection on osteopathic intervention.
Adaptation in case management according to the needs of the patient.
