Still Technique Master Class

At the London School Of Osteopathy, 12 Grange Rd, London SE1 3BE

Still technique course on the 8th March (Part 1) and 12th April (Part 2) at the London School of Osteopathy. Day one can be attended by its self but second day cannot be attended unless first day is completed. Course is over two contact days with a month apart, this enables you to practice and the revise techniques between contact days.  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 (8th March 2026)

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.
