Diploma of Osteopathy Manual Practitioner
GRADUATION, DESIGNATION
Following successful completion of all modules, the student is presented with a Diploma in
Osteopathic Manual Practitioners. The OSO uses the term Manual Practice to distinguish it from
medical practice that is reserved for those Osteopaths who have trained in the United States as
physicians.
Osteopathic Program Schedule
The Diploma of Osteopathic Manual Practice modular program is comprised of 14 modules.
Each module is 3 full days comprised of theory and clinical trainings. Classes are available in both
campuses of the school in Markham and Mississauga.
What is Osteopathy?
Osteopathy is a form of drug-free non-invasive manual medicine that focuses on total body
health by treating and strengthening the musculoskeletal framework, which includes the
joints, muscles and spine. It aims to positively affect the body's nervous, circulatory and
lymphatic systems.
Why to choose Ontario School of Osteopathy & Alternative Medicine?
Our graduates receive qualifications in Osteopathy accredited program under the World
Health Organization guidelines.
We are the only osteopathy college that prepares you for real life situations so you will
graduate job-ready and in demand. During your study, you will learn about how the human
body works from many different perspectives, how to detect even the smallest
misalignment and how to understand the roots of many common conditions.
The students will learn a lot of techniques since they will be dealing with real patients at our
student clinic. Our senior students provide treatment under supervision of a qualified and
registered practitioner.

Is Osteopathy a Regulated Profession in Ontario?
At one time, the College of Osteopaths of
Ontario regulated Osteopaths. Expenses were
handled the same way as chiropractic and
podiatric services: they were covered by OHIP
up to a maximum amount; group benefit plans
covered the balance of the claim. When the
College disbanded in the early 1990s, OHIP
stopped covering the services of new
osteopathic practitioners since they were no
longer a regulated health profession in Ontario.
There has been other attempt to regulate the
profession again but none have yet been
successful. It is very difficult to predict when
again osteopathy will become a regulated
health care profession.

Osteopathy Modules Description:
Module 1 - Osteopathic Examination Skills: Palpation and Assessment I
&
Module 2 - Osteopathic Examination Skills: Palpation and Assessment II
These module will review clinical procedures for interviewing an Osteopathic patient, physical
assessment according to Orthopedic Principles, neurological assessment, and bio-mechanical
assessment, all within the framework of “form and function are interrelated” model of classical
Osteopathy. The student will learn how to identify patterns of symptoms by palpation according
to Osteopathic principles.
Palpation is especially important to osteopathic
manipulative diagnosis and treatment because it
is fundamental to functional and structural
evaluation. Two of the essentials of effective
practice are palpatory skill in locating and
defining somatic dysfunctions and manipulative
skill to appropriately treat them. The art of
palpation requires discipline, time, patience and
practice. To be most effective and productive,
palpatory findings must be correlated with
knowledge of functional anatomy, physiology,
and pathophysiology. The development of
palpation skills is fundamental to become an
osteopathic practitioner and will be an essential element of the curriculum.
The other topics which will be reviewed in these modules are:
-
General introduction to the history and philosophy of osteopathy
Basic principles of biomechanics
Barrier concept
Ergonomics in Osteopathy
The assessment of Posture and Gait
Osteopathic assessment
Models of osteopathic care

Myofascial Release Workshop
What is Fascia?
The fascia is a soft connective tissue located just under the skin. It wraps and connects the
muscles, bones, nerves and blood vessels all together. Muscle and fascia, together make up
what is called the myofascial system.
What are Fascial Lines (Meridians)?
The multiple layers of fascia fibers in different locations of the body follow some specific
directions that shape the posture of the body. Due to the direction of these fibers, some of
the body movements are easily possible to perform and some other movements are limited.
There are 13 known fascial lines (meridians) exist in the body. Knowing the direction of these
lines will assist the therapist to develop treatment and prescribe stretches to the patient with
a maximum effectiveness.
What is Fascial Restriction?
Any local injury on the fascia, disuse or not enough stretching will cause the fascia and the
underlying muscle tissues become stuck together. This is called an adhesion, and it results in
restricted muscle movement along with pain, soreness and reduced flexibility or range of
motion. In addition, this will cause pressure on the underlying structures, sometime up to 1800
pound per square inches.
Common causes of Fascia Restriction:





Local trauma,
Inflammation
Immobilization (lack of stretching)
Surgery
Overuse
These restrictions cannot be detected in most Para clinic procedures such as: X-Ray, MRI, CT
Scan, Ultrasound or Blood tests, therefore, they can easily ignore or misdiagnosed for a long
period of time.

What is Myofascial Release technique?
It is a safe and highly effective therapy for reducing pain, increasing the range of motion
and restoration of functions. These techniques were anciently used by variety of nations to
manage the pain, and recently discovered scientifically and is used widely as a part of
manual therapy by Osteopaths, Physiotherapists, Physical Therapist and Massage Therapists.
These techniques use gentle, sustained pressure on the soft tissues while applying traction to
the fascia. These techniques result in lengthening and softening (release) of the fascia, as
well as the breaking down of adhesion (scar tissue) between skin, muscles and bones, and
internal organs.

Craniosacral Therapy 2-Day Course
The craniosacral system protects and supports the
brain and spinal cord (a.k.a. Central Nervous
System). This causes that the abnormalities in
Craniosacral system to effect on almost all the
other systems in the body via central nervous
system. This makes the Craniosacral Therapy so
important for different branches of
health professionals. The main concept of this
type of therapy is based on releasing fascial
restrictions in which cause interruption of flow in
the Craniosacral system.
In this course, you will learn how to normalize the
flow of this system and let the body begin its selfhealing process. This will also release the stress,
relieves the pain and also increases the resistance
of body against diseases.
In this course we will...





Learn the principles of Craniosacral
Therapy and how it relieves the pain
Learn the craniosacral rhythm and also
how to interpret its patterns in order to
evaluate its dysfunctions
Learn how to find the interruption in
Craniosacral system by examining the
fascial restrictions
Practice how to release dural restrictions to
enhance interactions between the central
nervous system and other systems of the
body
Treat some of the common conditions such
as TMJ dysfunction, head and neck pain,
disorders of central nervous system and
much more

Muscle Energy Technique 3-Day Course
What is Muscle Energy Technique?
Muscle Energy Technique (MET) was originally developed by Dr. Fred
Mitchell Osteopathic physician and his son Dr. Fred Mitchell, Jr. The
purpose of MET is utilize the patient’s muscle contractions and body
positioning to normalize joint moment. The theory behind MET is that if
a joint is not used to its full range of motion, it is likely that its overall
range of motion will minimize and it will be at a greater risk of strains
and injuries. A full and complete manual therapy system for using
MET, will allow for therapists to evaluate and treat joint restrictions of
areas: Lower Limbs, Hip and Trunk and Upper Limbs of the body.
How does Muscle Energy Technique work?
Muscle energy is a direct and active technique; meaning it engages a restrictive barrier and requires
the patient's participation for maximal effect. During a typical Muscle Energy Technique session, the
patient is asked to contract a muscle in the affected area for approximately five seconds while
overcoming a resistance to this contraction which is applied by the therapist. The set of contractions
helps to stretch and lengthen the contracted or spastic muscle. MET also helps strengthen the muscle
group in a specific area; increases range of motion and relieve pain.
Benefits of using Muscle Energy Technique
Muscle Energy Technique is used to treat patients who have limited range motion due to back, neck
and shoulder pain, scoliosis, sciatica, asymmetrical legs, hips or arms. It can also benefit patients in
treating joint stiffness, muscle pain and injury. MET is used as a tool diagnose and identify restrictions in
range of motion and help correct these restrictions. During our 3-Day course you will learn the different
techniques of MET and how to use them for patients and clients effectively in a safe way.
