Still Technique
Still Technique is described as the “application
of the rediscovered techniques of Andrew Taylor Still”.
Based on the written fragments of Still’s techniques,
Still Technique is a system of osteopathic diagnosis
and treatment which aspires to recreate the manipulations
of the ‘Old Doctor’.
A cross between structural and functional, it can be
used as an alternative or supplement to HVT release
techniques, when such approaches are inappropriate or
ineffective. It is also applicable to every area of
the body and suitable for a wide range of patients.
This course will introduce the theory and practice of
Still Technique, and is suitable for graduates and fourth
year undergraduates.

each participant come away with an increased understanding
of how to go about building their own practices. The
course is aimed both at osteopaths who are just starting
out in their own practice and also those who may have
been in practice for longer periods but would like to
have a fresh look at building their patient lists.
