Osteotherapy Training Bounine Method

This first workshop offers a global approach to the BounineⓇ Method and teaches its theoretical and practical foundations. It is divided into three sections:

1. Introduction to the genesis of the method and its fundamentals:
• Bone tissue
• The ilio-cranial concept
• Scientific approach to the method: measurable assessments of the body's imbalance
• Presentation of tools for measuring imbalance
• Balance of the pelvis.
2. Learning the Osteo-tendino-aponeurotic Postural Massage(OPM):
   • Its principles
   • Methodology
3. Balance of the pelvis’ workshops:
• Application of OPM on the pelvis, first practical approach to the method between participants and study of clinical cases
• Assessment and identification of bone points to be worked on the iliacs, sacrum and coccyx
• Three-stage stimulation of the EIPS (Posterior Superior Iliac Spine)

At the end of this first workshop, participants will be in a position to start integrating the tools for pelvis imbalance diagnosis into their practice.

Workshop 2 enables participants to revisit the foundations taught during Workshop 1, and to assess the therapists' initial experiences. It will then be devoted to continuing to learn the method, with particular emphasis on the spine and cranium. The following topics are covered:

1. Review of OPM's lessons on the pelvis, applied to the spine, back and cranium.

   • Traumatological and rheumatological pathologies: sprains and tendonitis
4. Assessment and treatment techniques for traumatic and post-operative sequelae: hip, knee, ankle, foot
5. Clinical reasoning and demonstration of treatment on a patient
6. Practical workshops between participants and round table discussion

Workshop 4 enables participants to revisit the fundamentals taught in Workshop 1, and to assess the therapists' initial experiences. It will then be devoted to continuing to learn the method, with particular emphasis on the upper limbs. The following topics are covered:

2. Assessment and treatment techniques:
   
   • Shoulder (in connection with the pelvis)
   • Elbow, wrist and hand
3. Treatment techniques:
   • Peripheral neuralgia of the upper limb: cervico-brachial neuralgia, carpal tunnel syndrome;
   • Upper limb pathologies: tendonitis, shoulder periarthritis, tennis and golf elbow, de Quervain's syndrome.
4. Study of clinical cases and demonstration of treatment on a patient
5. Practical workshops between participants and a round table discussion

The training in Méthode Bounine® manual therapy is divided into four workshops, available as a full or partial package:

• Full formula with certification: Participation in the 4 workshops and obtention of the Méthode Bounine® certification.

• Non-certifying partial formula : A la carte participation in one or more of the workshops. Validation of workshop 1 is a prerequisite for attending the other modules. If the participant finally attends all 4 workshops and passes the exams, he or she will obtain the Méthode Bounine® certification

At the end of each workshop, an examination will validate the corresponding training. Participants must pass all four exams before they can be certified and receive their diploma in Bounine Method® Osteotherapy.

Membership of the "Réseau des Ostéothérapeutes Méthode BounineⓇ" enables certified therapists who so wish to receive support after their training. It allows them to take part in advanced training courses as well as consultation days with Nicolas Bounine. Members of the network also have exclusive access to weekday and weekend webinars, news and newsletters relating to the method. They are listed in the directory of Méthode Bounine® Practitioners.
