What it's about
Osteothai for the Lower Back is a course of the Osteothai training of the Lulyani school, which integrates osteopathic principles and techniques into Thai massage. Lower back pain is among the most frequent complaints, and the lumbar region involves bony, muscular, fascial, visceral, energetic and nervous structures. The course aims to restore the vitality of the lumbar spine, its joint mobility and its ease of movement.
Dynamic and static techniques from Thai massage and osteopathy are combined with fascia techniques to release the craniosacral system (dura mater). Topics include the Osteothai routine for chronic pain, the bony structure of the sacroiliac joint and the spine, the craniosacral system and the central tendon, work with the Hara and the internal organs, and the difference between acute and chronic pain.
Participants must be Thai massage practitioners or floor bodyworkers, for example in shiatsu, who have completed a training of at least 10 to 12 days and practise regularly. The course is taught by David Lutt from 4 to 10 April 2027 in Japan. The Japanese organiser, Chiharu Miwa, lists it as coming soon and has not yet published the city, schedule or fee.
