·seminars of 2 to 4 days during weekends, aiming at
furthering skills and knowledge on a given topic, to become more efficient with
the patients.

uniting several teachers at once, addressing a chosen theme. Different levels of
workshops are open to students, according to their academic level.
·evenings, from 6:30 pm to 10:00 pm, on fascinating and
amazing subjects. The objective is to give participants the best and the

“The
essence of Osteopathy is contained within the ability of the practitioner to
articulate with the uniqueness of the whole of the patient through the
interrelated parts. Restoring motion and mobility to the different systems is
crucial. This philosophy, as well as the science of Osteopathy as taught through
the Canadian College of Osteopathy, has allowed me greater effectiveness in my
practice. This traditional approach is further emphasised in the research, which
serves to emphasise the fundamental principles of Osteopathy.”
Glenn Sprague D.O. (M.P.)
