What it's about
Osteothai for the Neck and Shoulders is a workshop with Oliver Chamorro on the neck, a highly mobile and sensitive connection between the head and the rest of the body that often carries the effects of stress, posture and habits. Drawing on Thai massage and osteopathic principles, it teaches how to assess and treat the neck, shoulders and upper back gently, looking beyond symptoms to possible causes.
Topics include the anatomy and movement of the neck and shoulder area, common causes of tension, acute and chronic neck discomfort, restrictions in the cervical spine and upper back, muscular adhesions and joint mobility, and the relationship between the neck, shoulders and breathing, including work with the lungs. Theory, anatomy and demonstrations alternate with guided hands-on practice.
The training is for practitioners with bodywork experience, such as Thai massage and shiatsu practitioners, physiotherapists and osteopaths. It takes place from 9 to 11 April 2027 in Rome, with 20 teaching hours: Friday 15:00–19:00, Saturday 09:00–18:00 and Sunday 09:00–16:30. The exact venue is still to be confirmed. The fee is €590 when booked before 1 March and €690 afterwards.
