VT05-08 Embryology Set

Embryology for Osteopaths – Lecture Series VT05–VT08

This 4-part lecture series combines embryology with osteopathic thinking and is based, among other things, on the work of Prof. Dr. Erich Blechschmidt. It shows how fundamental principles of osteopathy are already reflected in early human development.

The series is aimed at osteopaths, therapists, students, and those with a medical interest who want to gain a deeper understanding of embryological processes and classify them osteopathically.

The focus is on central developmental processes of the human body – from early metabolic and organizational fields to facial development and the nervous system.
