Each year...

students develop new protocols of palpation thereby permitting them to work with greater precision on each part of the body.

Objectives and course plan:

The courses focus on palpation and on the practice of the various therapeutic methods.
The subject matter of each course is presented in the context of being part of whole and interdependent organism. The professor establishes interrelationships between different systems and how it relates to the area being studied.

Each course consists of:

1. ‣A lecture addressing the normal functional anatomy and physiology in relation to the part of the body being studied. An analysis of related biomechanics and kinesiology;
   

2. ‣How to evaluate and examine a patient using successive steps. The student learns to build a treatment plan based on the practical test results;
   

3. ‣Practice of different therapeutic methods. The professor explains the protocol leading to the successful completion of a technique, describes precisely how to adapt the palpation to dialogue with the tissues and transmits the know-how to deliver the correct therapeutic act.
   This is an extremely important point and represents one of the unique strengths of our College.
