Gyrotonic Principles in the Context of Osteopathy with Gyrotonic Master Trainer & Osteopath Silvia Frosali

This course offers both theoretical information about osteopathy and practical applications on the Pulley Tower and on the floor. Making a bridge between the two methods, this course offers ways in which to interpret the Gyrotonic work from an osteopathic point of view.

There will also be examples of the osteopathic approach to the issue of restrictive movement. Particular attention will be paid to ways in which "hands on" techniques can be used to address restricted movement and the "osteopathic lesion".

Silvia Frosali is licensed for this course by Juliu Horvath and the International Gyrotonic Headquarters USA.

This course has been approved by Juliu as a Gyrotonic Update Course.

The course will be held at the 6 Ambleside St Studio from 30 November 2012 - 2 December 2012.

The cost of the course is 350 Euro + 250 AUD deposit.

As a pre-requisite, each participant must:

- Have a Gyrotonic Level 1 Qualification;
- Hold a valid and up-to-date Gyrotonic trademark license agreement.
