Osteopathic Psychosomatic Techniques

NAO professor Elias Abdel-Ahad (physiotherapist/manual osteopath) conducted a hands on workshop on osteopathic psychosomatic techniques at National Academy of Osteopathy in Toronto.
These techniques are amazing for chronic pain management and our students loved the techniques.

We recommend all manual osteopaths to take a psychosomatic continuing education program with this professor if they wish to add a new tool in chronic pain management to their practices.
To receive information about the next continuing education program available to all manual osteopaths please contact the professor directly.
These are some testimonial from NAO students:
Sean Waldie It was a wonderful session. Truly his practice and teaching is unveiling the deepest levels of interactions that often sit in the indefinable realm of the body . Elias gives guidence and opportunity to truly experience listening. This in combination with the practical techniques he has incorporated will make for an instantly attainable and integrative component for any manual therapist.
Thank you again
Johanna Ruth Kenworthy An incredibly beautiful and transitional space created by each and every soul. Thank you Elias, for guidance on the journey into our new chapters. Blessings everyone 🤗💖!

Students like our new professor!

Professor Hossein Khorrami, PhD, DOMP has recently joined our faculty. He has quickly become popular with students. Here is a letter we received from National Academy of Osteopathy student, Daniel Fow: 

I just wanted to say the afternoon teacher Dr Hossein Khorrami is doing a great job at NAO. He is very well liked by students and he is very knowledgeable about the osteopathic techniques, anatomy, and physiology. He is really making a big difference for a lot of us and he is a really intelligent person. I am glad you hired him! I know you always trying to improve the school. So I just wanted you to know students like him. This makes a big difference for students and he does a great job. It also looks really great on NAO to have someone of his caliber of intelligence on campus. We were talking about proprioception today and he really helped me understand it.

How can get bodies to practice osteopathic techniques on?

An easy way to get volunteers to allow you to practice osteopathic techniques is to post a notice on your personal Facebook page as well as Facebook groups of your city, asking for volunteers.

Aside from getting bodies to practice on, a benefit is many of them end up becoming your patients once you graduate and open your own clinic.

Many of our students have done this successfully. They got tons of volunteers while also getting many of them to come back as patients.

But please make sure you make it clear that you are not providing manual osteopathic care and treatments. You are just practicing techniques. You are not a manual osteopath yet and as such you cannot provide treatments. You can however practice techniques on others as long as they know they are not receiving treatments.
