What it's about
This five-day advanced Osteothai course with David Lutt is about transformation through touch and an approach to shock and trauma. It treats touch and palpation as the essence of hands-on work and the treatment as a dialogue with the tissue, with the restoration of mobility and vitality as the main goal. Connective tissue registers the impressions of shock or trauma, and the course offers tools to contact it.
The course deepens listening through palpation and perception and contact with the fascia, the structure, the fluids and the Breath of Life. Participants learn how shock and trauma register in the internal organs, how to work with scar tissue, unwind fascia and work with the cerebrospinal fluid. Integration focuses on communication along the vertical axis of the body (pelvis, key vertebral links, cranial meninges), releasing the diaphragms and the three energy centres of head, heart and hara.
Participants must already have taken three or four other Osteothai modules, such as Principles and General Overview, Internal Organs, Breathing, Lower Back Condition, Heart-Neck-Cranium Axis or Main Joints. The course takes place on 11–15 June 2027 at the Aikido Dojo, Hasenheide 9, 10967 Berlin, daily from 09:00 to 12:30 and 14:00 to 17:00, ending around 16:00 on the fifth day. It is non-residential. The fee is €685, script included.
