Well I know that the BSO is very 'structural' ... and I understand what that means for osteopathy ... but Ive never really understood what 'classical' and 'functional' osteopathy was, after yesterdays Manus Sinstra I now understand what functional osteopathy is about.
However I don't really understand how I can apply that to my current practice. I definitely need to go on some further courses to really understand how to apply functional assessment and functional treatment ... I'm hoping that next weekends course (Neuromuscular Rehabilitation - Prof. Eyal Lederman) will help bridge some of this gap.
What I need to do is try to arrange a practice visit with someone like Matt Harris who uses lots of functional work, I'm even going to try to arrange to watch Jon Singleton a fellow fourth year who uses a functional approach alot.
Ive also arrange to do extra hours in the Sports Clinic to see Robin Lansman work as he talked to us in the third year about a functional squat test which forms part of his assessment of the patient.
