I trained at The British School of Osteopathy and graduated with a DO in 1975. I have been involved in teaching at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels for more than 45 years, having earned my PhD in 2006. I have taught in more than 22 countries and have been invited to be an external examiner at schools around the world on many occasions. I founded the Expectant Mothers Clinic at the school in 1980 and have lectured and published books and videos on the subject ever since. In addition to pregnancy, I see adults and children for general musculoskeletal problems, including pelvic pain and coccyx pain.
I am registered with the General Osteopathic Council and am a member and past council member of the Institute of Osteopathy (formerly the British Osteopathic Association). I also hold honorary memberships from the French, Canadian, and German osteopathic associations.
Introduction. The menstrual cycles and their interlinking so that reproduction is a predictable and logical series of processes leading to a new baby. Or to put it another way, the brain and the pituitary gland, the ovaries, the uterine lining, and the cervix all have to work together otherwise what is the point. If you menstruated the day after ovulation nobody would be there.
The menstrual cycle review.
Symptoms in gynaecology. What is normal?
The differential diagnosis of gynae symptoms:
Gynae pathologies such as tumors benign and cancer, endometriosis, ovarian cysts, urogynaecology and pelvic floor weakness
All of the above will take up most of the first day. It is not all lecture style. I break up the classroom teaching with practical palpation sessions, and differential diagnosis with work examining he patient standing and supine.
The Anatomy of the organs, the ligaments, the blood supply, the venous drainage and the central & autonomic nervous systems.
Again the second day is not all lecture, but lecture and practical introducing the principles of functional unwinding techniques to the organs. This will prepare them for the external and internal specific techniques.
The treatment techniques:
80% of the techniques used by osteopaths are external but the internal techniques are also important. I will bring an anatomical model with me that allows the whole class to have a chance to palpate and see how the organs feel. Those students who wish to either with a partner from the class or with a girlfriend or wife will be taken off to do the techniques live. This is a guided part of the course and I shall be there every step of the way to ensure that the palpation is easy, not painful, and modest.
