With injury, the tissues can become “stupid” i.e. lose their sense of orientation. The therapeutic forces can divert around the injury for compensation. The tissue, fluid and potency fractionate. The fluid body, metabolics, and relationship to growth and development shift (even in the adult).
This course will explore the developmental axis’ of the extremities, both local and in the whole, and the Stillness connected to the Ocean which feeds the midline(s). Power points will be taught in the light of matching the tone and texture of the whole and suspending the Stillness of the midline. The embryologic origins of the upper and lower limb buds reviewed with detailed slides. Practical applications will be given and carefully defining what is a lesioned electrical field in the bone and extremity (RTP). Basic Osteopathic principles will be reexamined, such as spinal levels for facilitation. In addition, we will begin to step into the Health and how the perfect and imperfect relate to each other.
Experiential movement of the joints in the extremities will be done. How compensatory patterns in the arms and legs can affect the neck and back will be addressed. There will be detail discussion of normal movement patterns of the extremities, so that injured movement patterns do not return to better enable Osteopathic lesions to heal.
Suggested prerequisites:
Osteopathic Foundations Steps 1-5, Phases I-V, BioBasics, Cranial Academy basic cranial course, Sutherland Teaching Foundations basic course or international equivalent.

A Journey to the Breath behind the Breath
The embryonic breath and the
dying patient
Step 7A in the Osteopathic Foundations Series
Using principles from Phase 7

In order for growth and development to occur, the old must die for the new to move in. This is true from the pediatric patient to the dying patient. With embryologic development the space opens up via dissolution of the old allowing the new function to move in. This is the pathway of creation and the patterns of healing throughout life.
In this patterning, there is an ease and purposeful motion towards the Stillness in the lesional field. The chaos and entropy unfolds into the Health. This is the Kaleidoscopic motion of life which drives us, the imperfections. It is also part of the circle of life and the longing to go home which spurs our growth. A constant unmasking and unveiling to feel and understand our true selves in the Matrix of the Health.
Intricately linked to the lesion is the suffering. We all suffer. Yet suffering and the Health are two sides of the same coin. This relationship will be explored so we do not skip over recognizing and understanding the suffering that our patients have been through. The ability to step into this type of lesion, to be with it safely, and not to try and fix it, can be liberating. It helps us understand the beauty of our humanity.
Death, the dying patient and the relationship between primary and secondary respiration will be defined and explored. Helping patients with this transition is an honor and is an essential service to our patients.
This course is the prelude to step 7B where we will dive into the Matrix of the Health and Liquid Light.

In phase one we explored motion present and the link to the Health. All motion has an orientation and motion towards the Health. This motion is the River of Life towards normal. The orientation of all, even the lesions, is towards the Matrix in the Health. This is the original blue print, how embryology expresses itself. The healing forces throughout life. It is the grid which links us and grounds us to the Divine. The liquid light is the action, it takes the lesions in the chaos and entropy and melts it towards its origin, the Health.
In this course we will explore how Stillness and motion are one. There can be no motion without a sense of Stillness and where it is coming from. We will also delve into the most essential principle in Osteopathy, the Health. This is what makes our profession unique and powerful. A detail study will be done on what is the Health, how we can access in ourselves and our patients with meditations and hands on practicals.

Osteopathic Foundations with related undergraduate OsteoBasic courses is a series of biodynamically inspired courses based on the principles of the phase courses with updated research and new material in Osteopathy, embryology, and movement. This is a series of 10 courses and continuing pediatric study designed to take the practitioner through Osteopathic principles: biodynamic, biokinetic, the works of Drs. Jim Jealous, Rollin Becker and beyond.
Basic Osteopathic principles will be reviewed and expanded upon in the light of using them in clinical practice. This form of traditional Osteopathy will include detailed study of anatomy and embryology from the work of Drs Eric Blechschmidt, Jim Jealous, W.G. Sutherland and A.T. Still. Students will come to understand that embryologic movements are the healing forces for growth and development throughout life and how the Ocean and Tide help incarnate this process.
Dr. Caron was directly mentored by Dr. James Jealous for the last 25 years of his life and by one of Dr. Rollin Becker’s principle students, Jacque Duval, D.O. In addition, she studied with Ann Wales D.O. and extensively with Dr. Hugh Ettinger a longtime student of Dr. Wales. These are all direct lineages from Dr. William G. Sutherland.
Movement patterns will be explored in order to support the patient and practitioner during the treatment process. Dr. Caron’s experience from years as a professional modern dancer will help the participant understand the importance of engaging the patient on this level. Her background includes performing and touring internationally as well as teaching multiple forms of dance as a guest artist at universities and dance festivals. In addition, she studied movement techniques including Alexander, Klein, Feldenkrais, Yoga, Qigong, and Pilates. These methods can shift habitual movement patterns and posture which is connected to one’s emotions and soul. Previous compensations can inhibit the full incarnation of an Osteopathic treatment. By addressing these compensations, a normal sense of ease in the whole can be supported.
This is original work - incorporating biodynamic, biokinetic, traditional Osteopathy, and movement- brings into light the true self unhindered…the emergence of originality.
