Instructor: Yuri Neuchev (Master in Osteopathic Manipulative Sciences)
Course Overview
This exclusive two-day advanced workshop offers a rare and transformative learning experience in visceral osteopathy, focusing on the deep interconnections between the neck, stomach, duodenum, and large intestine.
These areas are essential for the proper regulation of digestion, respiration, posture, and autonomic balance. They are often overlooked in standard osteopathic education.
Through in-depth anatomical study, precise palpation, and hands-on techniques developed from years of clinical experience, participants will learn how to recognize and treat dysfunctions that conventional methods often miss. This course provides tools to restore mobility, relieve chronic tension, and optimize digestive and systemic health through a uniquely integrative approach.
What makes this course truly unique is its focus on the cervical region’s influence on visceral function, highlighting how the neck and diaphragm act as central bridges between the musculoskeletal and digestive systems. By addressing these critical connections, practitioners can achieve profound and lasting therapeutic results for patients with issues such as hiatal hernia, reflux, constipation, and visceral-somatic imbalances.
Day 1 — Neck, Stomach and Duodenum
Day 1 explores the cervical and upper digestive regions, emphasizing their shared fascial and neural pathways that influence breathing, posture, and digestive efficiency.
Topics Covered:
-
Anatomy and Physiology: Cervical structures, stomach, and duodenum
-
Neural and Fascial Connections: The role of the phrenic nerve, vagus nerve, and vertebro-pericardial ligament
-
Viscerosomatic Reflexes: How neck tension and digestive symptoms are interconnected
-
Clinical Palpation: Identifying restrictions in fascial layers and organ mobility
-
Treatment Techniques:
-
Hiatal hernia and high acidity correction
-
Pyloric and duodenal sphincter release (OD)
-
Diaphragm and upper abdominal decompression
-
Chapman reflex applications for upper GI system
-
By the end of Day 1, participants will understand how cervical restrictions can influence stomach and duodenal function, and how targeted osteopathic intervention can normalize digestion and autonomic tone.
Day 2 — The Large Intestine
Day 2 focuses on the lower digestive system, exploring its intricate fascial, neural, and mechanical connections with the pelvis and lumbar spine.
Topics Covered:
-
Anatomy and Physiology: Segments of the large intestine and their structural relationships
-
Fascial Mobility: Colon and peritoneal attachments affecting function
-
Assessment: Recognizing restriction patterns in intestinal motility
-
Treatment Techniques:
-
Osteopathic approach for constipation and intestinal irritation
-
Mobilization of recto-uterine and recto-vesical fascia
-
Techniques to restore communication between abdominal and pelvic cavities
-
-
Chapman Reflexes: Mapping and practical treatment for intestinal balance
By the end of Day 2, practitioners will master visceral manipulation techniques that enhance elimination, reduce tension, and restore functional rhythm throughout the abdomen.
Why This Course Matters
Digestive disorders, postural imbalances, and autonomic dysfunctions often share the same origin: visceral restrictions. Addressing these structures through osteopathic palpation can dramatically improve patients’ quality of life, relieving pain, improving digestion, and harmonizing the body’s internal systems.
This course stands apart because it goes beyond traditional visceral teaching, integrating neural, fascial, and somatic relationships with real-world clinical relevance. Participants will gain practical methods that can be immediately applied in daily practice with measurable patient results.
Learning Outcomes
By the end of this workshop, participants will be able to:
-
Precisely assess and treat cervical-digestive visceral dysfunctions
-
Understand the mechanical, fascial, and neural pathways linking the neck and digestive organs
-
Apply advanced manual techniques to restore physiological balance and organ mobility
-
Integrate visceral treatment principles into a holistic osteopathic approach
Who Should Attend
This course is designed for osteopathic practitioners, manual therapists, physiotherapists, and advanced healthcare professionals who seek to expand their understanding of visceral-somatic connections and achieve a higher level of therapeutic mastery.
