Master 2 : Visceral system and vascular system

Prerequisites

LMO 4 Viscera and LMO 5 Cardiovascular system

 

    

 

3 day course

Objectives:

Update the basic tests of the visceral system and the vascular system and complete the general examination with new tests.

Present original dissections that will allow for a better approach of the viscera and the vascular system.

Improve the Mechanical Link diagnostic and treatment technique with a combined approach to the different lesions found.

Develop new clinical applications specific to the visceral system, the vascular system and the autonomic nervous system.

 

Practice:

Basic tests of the visceral system with new tests:  heart, round ligament, diaphragm, perineum, etc.

Basic tests of the vascular system with new tests: the venous system, the lymphatic system, the arteries of the cranium and the encephalon.

 

Clinical applications: 

The pregnant woman (care during pregnancy, preparation to delivery and post-partum), vascular pathologies (venous and lymphatic issues), dysfunctions of the autonomic nervous system, imbalances linked to latent metabolic acidosis, chronic fatigue, etc.

 

Program:

Day 1                             

Morning (9AM – 1PM):

Examination of the abdominal viscera: update of the basic tests of the abdominal viscera and integration of new tests. 

Clinical applications: gastric, hepatic, intestinal, renal and urinary, gynecological functional pathologies, etc.

Afternoon (2:30PM-6:30PM):

Examination of the thoracic viscera: update of the basic tests of the organs of the thorax and integration of new tests (heart, diaphragm). 

Clinical applications: cardiovascular and respiratory functional pathologies.

 

Day 2                             

Morning (9AM – 1PM):

Examination of abdominal and thoracic vascular system: update of the basic tests of the arteries and integration of new tests (venous system and lymphatic system). 

Clinical applications: miscellaneous vascular issues, autonomic dysfunctions, etc.

Afternoon (2:30PM-6:30PM):

Examination of the arteries of the encephalon: evaluation of the ophthalmic artery, the anterior, middle and posterior cerebral arteries, the hypothalamopituitary arteries and the basilar trunk arteries.

Clinical applications: functional pathologies of the central nervous system, sequelae of concussions, sequelae of cerebral vascular accidents, Parkinson, etc.

 

Day 3                             

Morning (9AM – 1PM):

Examination of the perineum: evaluation and treatment of the perineum with new tests (of ligaments, tendons and muscles),  combined abdominal approach with external approach of the perineum. 

Clinical applications: lumbopelvic dysfunctions, pregnancy, post-partum, diastasis recti, urinary issues, sequelae of surgery, etc. 

Afternoon (2:30PM-5PM):

Summary: integration and practice of the tests of the visceral system and vascular system in the general osteopathic examination.
