Still Technique is described as the “application of the rediscovered techniques of Andrew Taylor Still” and is a system of osteopathic assessment and manipulative treatment from the USA which aspires to recreate the manipulations of the ‘Old Doctor’.

A cross between structural and functional techniques, it is an alternative or supplement to HVT techniques, when such approaches are inappropriate or ineffective. Fluent, dynamic and effective, the Still Technique takes in elements of positional diagnosis, manipulation, articulation and functional technique. Like HVT, it pushes against barriers to movement and creates a positive release. Unlike HVT, it is softer and more fluid and produces a gentle “clunk” – often much better tolerated by a wider range of patients. It is also applicable to every area of the body.

Part 1 (13th October 2024)

Combining structural & functional osteopathic manual techniques, it is an alternative, or supplement, to high velocity thrust (HVT), when such approaches are inappropriate or ineffective. It is also applicable to every area of the body & suitable for a wide range of patients.

This 7-hour CPD workshop will introduce the theory & practice of Still Technique, & will focus on the lumbar spine, pelvis & rib 1 areas.

Part 2 (10th November 2024)

This 7-hour CPD workshop builds on the Still Technique Part 1 workshop. Still Technique Part 2 provides an opportunity to revise, practice & refine the techniques introduced in Part 1, & will explore the application of Still Technique to the thorax & cervical spine areas, & to the upper & lower extremities. It will also look at its applied role in the external treatment of the coccyx.
