What is BioBasics?
BIOBASICS is based on the Biodynamic View of Osteopathy in the Cranial Field, the curriculum developed by Dr. James Jealous D.O..
The program is designed to explore fundamental topics within the Biodynamic Model of Osteopathy.
The course continues the osteopathic tradition in the spirit of Andrew Taylor Still, the founder of osteopathy and his close following of students. Biobasics courses have been held regularly in the U.S.A. since 1991, and for several years in the UK, France, Spain and Australia. The courses are made available to students at reasonable costs.
Who are we?
We are all osteopaths who have studied the Biodynamic Phase program founded by Dr James Jealous and have undergone the 6 years of intense study and clinical application in the SOCK Training Program and clinic, earning the SOCK DPO qualification.
We are a group of osteopaths who met on Werner Van Camp’s Swiss Osteopathic Center for Kids (SOCK) courses. Most of us have also completed a lot of Dr Jealous’ biodynamic phase courses. Following in the traditions of Osteopathy we created a study group together called “Be Still and Enjoy”, and through this we will work to improve and increase our understanding of our beautiful profession – hence we are doing a BioBasics course.
Who is it for?
The course is open to final year undergraduates and graduate osteopaths from all backgrounds and countries, as well as doctors, dentists and midwives who would like to explore traditional osteopathy in a supportive community. No previous skill or training in pediatric Osteopathy is required. Equally it provides an enriching experience for the experienced practitioner.
