What it's about
Osteothai for the Lower Back is a course of the Osteothai training of the Lulyani school, which integrates osteopathic principles and techniques into Thai massage. Lower back pain is among the most frequent complaints, and the lumbar region involves bony, muscular, fascial, visceral, energetic and nervous structures. The course aims to restore the vitality of the lumbar spine, its joint mobility and its ease of movement.
Dynamic and static techniques from Thai massage and osteopathy are combined with fascia techniques to release the craniosacral system (dura mater). Topics include the Osteothai routine for chronic pain, the bony structure of the sacroiliac joint and the spine, the craniosacral system and the central tendon, work with the Hara and the internal organs, and the difference between acute and chronic pain.
Osteothai courses are open to practitioners with a solid Thai massage training, from any school, and a regular practice. It is taught by David Lutt from 22 to 27 August 2027 at the Maison d'Amis in Sainte-Cécile-les-Vignes near Orange.
