Would you like to improve athletic performance? Would you
like to learn a new way to assess the body? Would you like to treat sports injuries
more effectively?
Manual osteopathy is very effective in treating sports
injuries and some of its techniques are used to improve athletic performance.
Many of our alumni are athletic trainers who by studying
manual osteopathy open up new employment opportunities for themselves as having
dual degrees give them a competitive advantage. A dual degree also results in
having a higher annual income. Alumni who add manual osteopathic care to their
practices increase their annual income by $28,000.
National University of Medical Sciences (USA) offers an online Bachelor of Science degree program in
osteopathic manual practice – BSc (OMP) that athletic trainers can complete in
6 months (1 semester) at reduced tuition ($3875). We also offer a PhD program
in Osteopathic Clinical Sciences for athletic trainers.
You will learn techniques such as cranial osteopathy,
visceral manipulation, osteoarticular, muscle energy, high velocity low
amplitude, balanced ligamentous tension, positional facilitated release,
strain/counterstrain, Still’s, manual mechanotherapy, lymphatic drainage,
oscillatory, thermogenic, and soft tissue therapy which you can incorporate
into your treatments in all US states.
Our alumni in the States cannot call themselves osteopaths
as the term is reserved for osteopathic physicians in US. We teach hands-on
European style osteopathy, no surgery, no medications. This degree does not
make you an osteopathic physician. You can legally however use the title of
osteopathic manual practitioner if you wish.
Upon graduation you may be eligible to join our Osteopathy
Chronic Pain Clinics (
https://www.facebook.com/osteopathypainclinics).
With over 166 clinics across the world OCPCC is the largest privately owned
chronic pain clinic in the world. All osteopathic manual practitioners working
in these clinics are our alumni and many of them are physical therapists who
have studied manual osteopathy with us.
We are accredited by the Council on Manual Osteopathy
Education of the International Osteopathic Association.
Our classes start twice per year in February and September.
Our lectures are online on-demand and in video formats with available course
notes when applicable. Your tuition covers all costs (including a hard drive
with all the lecture videos) and you have access to one week of free in-class
practical technique class.

We do hope you study manual osteopathy with us. It is a
great profession and does wonders in helping athletes.
Thank you for reading this post.
Here is a post by our student, athletic trainer, Marylene
Audet on why she chose to study osteopathy:
The rich set of manual techniques available to the manual osteopath allows a
more exhaustive evaluation of the clients to maintain a delicate balance
between all the functions of the body and the person as a whole.
What really attracted me to this profession is the gentle, respectful,
thoughtful healing touch, one that is rationally exercised to achieve better
mind-body movement.
From the fast pace of an AT life, osteopathy is an invitation to reconnect with
Nature, appreciate the gift that was given to me: a passion to aid my clients
reach, a balanced life and well-being.
