This comprehensive course is offered in collaboration with OSD Polska and will be delivered in Warsaw during the 2025–26 academic year.
Please find the dates and details infra.
In addition to this postgraduate course, masterclasses in pediatric dissection and pediatric fieldwork will also be offered. Further information will be provided once the dates have been confirmed.
The aim of the training is to specialize the osteopath in the field of pediatric osteopathy. The focus is on imparting practical skills. Of course, all the theoretical knowledge necessary for competent practice in pediatric osteopathy is also taught. The application and practice of theoretical and practical content in clinical treatment under supervision is an important part of the training and takes place in clinical practice training.
We attach great importance to holistic didactic of teaching, the atmosphere of learning and interaction with each other. The relationship between all of this is the basis for a deep and fulfilling understanding as well as personal growth.
The Osteopathy School Germany (OSD) has published two specialist books on pediatric osteopathy. In 2019, Differential Diagnoses in Paediatric Osteopathy was released by Thieme Verlag. In addition, OSD has been working for over seven years on a comprehensive project that systematically reviews the entire body of published literature on pediatric osteopathy—from the early days of the field to the present.
Based on this research, OSD has not only initiated five scientific studies but also developed new treatment strategies for children. Three academic articles have already been published, and a clinical study is currently in preparation.
In addition, OSD has organized and hosted two major international congresses on pediatric osteopathy. Each event attracted around 1,000 participants and featured over 40 renowned speakers from around the world.
Through this ongoing commitment, pediatric osteopathy education at OSD continues to evolve—deepening existing knowledge, integrating new approaches, and applying the latest developments directly in both classroom teaching and hands-on clinical training at its own teaching clinic.
Osteon is pleased to offer this expertise in collaboration with OSD in Warsaw starting in September 2025
The lessons offer a synthesis of classical pediatric medicine and the specific osteopathic approaches to the treatment of children. In addition, the training fosters the development of social and psychological skills, as well as the osteopath’s competence for responsible interdisciplinary collaboration with all professional groups involved in pediatric care.
The training focuses on teaching approaches that promote the health and homeostasis of the child. A salutogenetic perspective forms the foundation of the curriculum. Naturally, these principles, models, and approaches are applied in clinical contexts, addressing a wide range of pediatric symptoms such as abdominal disorders; difficulties with sucking, swallowing, and biting; sleep disturbances; conditions affecting the ear, nose, and throat; spinal asymmetries such as torticollis; excessive crying; learning disorders; and more.
Treatment goes beyond symptom-oriented, localized interventions and consistently aims to engage the entire organism and its surrounding environment. Participants also gain the knowledge necessary for interdisciplinary collaboration, including a clear understanding of both the indications for and the limitations of osteopathic treatment.
We are committed to ensuring high standards of care for children in Germany and across Europe through a strong focus on quality assurance. Torsten Liem is a founding member of both the German Society for Paediatric Osteopathy (DGKO) and the European Society for Paediatric Osteopathy (EGKO), and continues to serve on their boards. Both DGKO and EGKO provide training programs with a minimum of 400 hours, focusing on essential competencies for osteopaths throughout Europe.
We look forward to supporting you throughout your osteopathic training and guiding you on your journey to becoming a pediatric osteopath.
