This two-day course will cover Principles of treatment and practical applications so that the attendee will be able to implement the use of cranial osteopathy into their practice immediately. We will cover assessment and treatment of the cranial base, cranial vault, cranial base strains patterns, the reciprocal tension membrane, management of the cerebrospinal fluid and cranial osteopathy for infants and children.
Each area will be covered by a short presentation followed by a practical session.
There will be limited places for this course to allow for interactive involvement and support by the faculty members.

Over the past 3 days I attended an osteopathic course on the stomatognathoc system including, TMJ, dental and tongue disorders presented by the incredible osteopath and teacher Dr Paulo Tozzi from Rome. The breadth and depth of his knowledge was outstanding. He’s humble nature and joy in sharing his knowledge was palpable. Dr Tozzi works all over the world presenting and sharing his expertise and is booked up until 2027. Having a mix of practitioners there including osteopaths, other body workers, dentist, dental therapist and ENT surgeon was wonderful. Experiencing this course with other practitioners who I collaborated with was such an honor. This is the further of medicine, collaboration at its best.
After deep discussions with Dr Paolo Tozzi’s I have asked him to come to present this course and possibly more in Melbourne. We are looking at a time in November 2026 if all can be arranged. Feeling very blessed and grateful as I head home from Japan back to my lovely family for Christmas! What a way to end the year!!!

Our noses are incredible! This is just three fabulous things that it does for our incredible bodies. Always breathe through the nose! if your child is not breathing through their nose most of the time, then this should be assessed and checked by someone who understands airway health.
