The Foundation for Paediatric Osteopathy is delighted to invite you to its first International Conference in London. We have brought together experts in the field who, through their extensive and varied experience, offer a wide range of perspectives on paediatric practice. All osteopaths, regardless of their level of experience, will gain from this opportunity to learn from the lecturers and share ideas with other paediatric osteopaths. The theme of the conference is “The Developing Child - An osteopathic challenge”.  Our speakers come from a range of backgrounds and countries and will be speaking on subjects including development of sleep, the role of vision in development of behaviour, development of posture, development in the context of neurological impairment. Details of our speakers and their subjects is on the conference website. 2012-10-12T20:00:01+12:00 http://www.osnz.org/go/index.php/events/event_detail/balanced_ligamentous_tension_program_blt/ http://www.osnz.org/go/index.php/events/event_detail/balanced_ligamentous_tension_program_blt/#When:20:00:00Z Saturday 18 & Sunday 19 August 2012 The details of this program have yet to be confirmed. It will be at Mercure Willis Street in Wellington after the AGM and will be a two-day program. There will be a big emphasis on technique so plenty of time at the treatment tables.

In fact during the last weeks the Organizing Secretariat has received many abstracts and there are still many outstanding requests of postponing the deadline. Therefore, on behalf of the Scientific Committee of the Congress, we have the pleasure to inform you about the following postponements: - Updated deadline for abstracts submission - 20 January, 2011 - Updated deadline for discounted registration date, first deadline - 20 January, 2011 AWARD FOR THE BEST ABSTRACTS (poster and oral presentations) - - 1st, 2nd e 3rd place for the best poster/oral presentation This and other updates, including the full preliminary program, will be published shortly on the official congress website http://www.osteopatia2011.it. For any further details please don’t hesitate to contact our organizing secretariat (info@osteopatia2011.it).

For too long the knowledge base that manual therapists and the training community have used has been based on a cadaveric approach to anatomy. Muscles are painstakingly surgically isolated, named, and a movement action described. We then use that theoretical base to inform our practices. For example the biceps is isolated as a muscle and an expensive gym machine is produced that isolates that named muscle, and works it. The new millennium needs a better model. Contractile fields are whole organism in scope. They are fields of contractility that are archetypal, meaning they can be traced back to the origins of vertebrate movement. Side-bending, flexion/extension, helical, radial, limb fields, fluid fields and chiralic fields will be described, delineated and field interpenetration discussed. If you need to understand human movement this course will change the way you conceptualize and think about your work. 2010-03-05T21:00:00+12:00 http://www.osnz.org/go/index.php/events/event_detail/peer_group_meeting_auckland/ http://www.osnz.org/go/index.php/events/event_detail/peer_group_meeting_auckland/#When:21:00:01Z Saturday 28 November 2009 The Contractile Field – the grammar of movement Presented by: Phillip Beach, DO,DAc This course presents a new model of human movement that draws extensively on embryology and evolutionary developmental biology.

Presented by: Phillip Beach, DO,DAc The Erectorcise exercises are derived from that most important of movement sequences i.e. the erection from the floor to standing. We are a bipedal ape that can trace our ancestry back to homo erectus. Erecting from the floor is mastered by all human children from all cultures, and has been for at least six million years. The floor to standing sequence is central to the biomechanical construction of every muscle, bone and joint we have. It is a movement sequence that the great majority of people now rarely exercise. I suggest much of the endemic back pain and limb dysfunction we end up treating is derived in large part from loss of ease in the floor postures, and loss of the complex strength needed to arise from the floor easily and gracefully. The workshop will cover the embryology and evolutionary biology of the lower limbs. Archetypal floor postures will be practised and refined. Erecting from the floor with good style will be practised. These exercises are core curriculum to all movement. They are applicable to all people. You need to comprehend this concept. 2009-11-21T21:00:00+12:00 http://www.osnz.org/go/index.php/events/event_detail/peer_group_meeting_bay_of_plenty1/ http://www.osnz.org/go/index.php/events/event_detail/peer_group_meeting_bay_of_plenty1/#When:21:00:00Z Sunday 15 November 2009 Assessing biomechanical tune using the archetypal postures of repose and introducing the Erectorcise concept.

The tissue will respond with an osmotic relation towards its environment, instead of keeping isolated as a lesion. The reaction is often mediate, not immediate nor long term. The result and improvement are long term; there is no necessity for repeating treatment. This involves pain free techniques that go with the tissue and not against, transmitting enough and no more of what is necessary for someone to create his own healing process. The material to be covered on this program includes patient installation, meaning considerations of posture and other applications that will amplify the effectiveness of structural techniques. Operator positioning to better harmonise with your patients. Discussion will be had about the philosophy of how, when and why one would use HVLA (high velocity low amplitude). José will then discuss techniques and principles of combined levers. This will be very useful for those who wish to learn how to refine their techniques further and improve their effectiveness and patient response. 2009-10-16T21:00:00+12:00 http://www.osnz.org/go/index.php/events/event_detail/osnz_agm/ http://www.osnz.org/go/index.php/events/event_detail/osnz_agm/#When:21:30:00Z 9.30 - 10.30am OSNZ AGM 10.30 - 11.00am Morning tea 11.00 - 12.30pm Panel discussion - Osteopathy in New Zealand and its world partners (Panel: Clive Standen OIA, Antony Nicols AOA and Melvin Jessop BOA) 12.30 - 1.30pm Lunch 1.30 - 4.30pm Forum - General discussion for members - Beginning with an update from Stiofan McSuibhne, Chair, OCNZ - Extended Practice Rights.  What does this mean? - HINZ - Standards and Credentialing For further information, please contact Lydia, lydia@osnz.org or 03 313 5086. 2009-09-18T21:30:00+12:00 http://www.osnz.org/go/index.php/events/event_detail/peer_group_meeting_christchurch/ http://www.osnz.org/go/index.php/events/event_detail/peer_group_meeting_christchurch/#When:21:00:00Z A Kinetic Approach to HVLA, an adaptation to modern osteopathy Presented by: José Kunzler, DO.BSC (Hons) MROF, MOSNZ Jose will talk about the use of a kinetic energy giving a high speed, short momentum into the targeted tissue.
