ABOUT THE COURSE

Refine Your Somato-Visceral Skills

Learn safe, effective, and efficient osteopathic techniques to assess and treat the dynamic relationships between the body's structural and visceral systems. This exclusive hands-on course explores how to influence function via the nerves, arteries, veins, and lymphatics using palpation, induction, and neuro-lymphatic reflexes.

âś… Understand somato-visceral and viscero-somatic relationships
→ Delivered through in-depth lectures and labs emphasizing mechanical, neural, vascular, and lymphatic components.

âś… Assess and treat dysfunction across the spine, pelvis, thorax, cranium, and viscera
→ Layer-by-layer palpation, diaphragmatic work, and targeted assessment of transitional zones using global, local, and focal strategies.

âś… Integrate visceral anatomy and physiology into your osteopathic reasoning
→ Includes structural, functional, and neurovascular dynamics of the abdomen, thorax, and pelvic regions.

âś… Confidently apply hands-on techniques in real time
→ Repeated lab sessions build proficiency with induction, reflex stimulation, and palpatory discernment.

âś… Improve clinical outcomes by identifying key patterns of restriction
→ Explore how to uncover primary dysfunctions and facilitate systemic correction through integrated treatment planning.

âś… Support holistic healing through targeted visceral regulation
→ Learn techniques that help restore optimal function by supporting the autonomic nervous system and visceral mobility/motility.

âś… Deepen your understanding of osteopathic principles
→ Grounded in Dr. Bezilla’s philosophical and practical approach to whole-person care.

Simple doesn't have to be basic.

This course is a deep dive into the foundational principles and practical applications of somato-visceral osteopathy.

Dr. B has a way of presenting information that makes it easy to understand and practical to incorporate into practice. - JR

Learning in a supportive environment is a key part of continuing education. Great instructors aren't enough! I want to enjoy my learning and the Integration courses make that easy. - JB

Theory

✅ Global, Local & Focal Assessment Models

Use structured diagnostic models to localize dysfunction and guide targeted interventions. Work with neurolymphatic reflexes to regulate organ function through the nervous system.

✅ Holistic & Preventative Approach
Support organ vitality and systemic health through the osteopathic lens—combining structure, function, and whole-person care.

Practice

✅ Practical Tools for Daily Practice
Leave with clinical strategies you can confidently integrate into patient care right away.

✅ Hands-On Laboratory Training
Practice techniques in real time, with opportunities to refine and apply everything you’ve learned.

✅ Layered Palpation & Induction
Develop refined palpation techniques to assess mobility, motility, and tissue texture—from superficial to deep.

Principles

✅ Foundational Somato-Visceral Understanding

Learn to identify and treat mechanical, neural, vascular, and lymphatic contributors and autonomic signs of visceral dysfunction.

✅ Spinal, Pelvic & Cranial Integration
Master assessment and treatment of transitional zones and diaphragms to support whole-body balance.

 

What's Included In The Course...

MODULE 1

The Osteopathic Approach to Somato-Visceral Integration

Explore the principles guiding the interconnected relationship between structure and function. Learn to apply osteopathic assessments to identify somato-visceral and viscero-somatic imbalances and guide treatment with precision.    

âś… Understand how structural dysfunctions influence visceral health
âś… Learn the role of global, local, and focal assessments in osteopathy
âś… Explore techniques that bridge somatic and visceral systems through mechanical and neurovascular pathways

MODULE 2

Layered Palpation & Induction-Based Assessment

Refine your palpation through a systematic, layer-by-layer approach. Develop the sensitivity to perceive mobility, motility, and tissue tension patterns essential for somato-visceral work.
âś… Build confidence in layer-by-layer palpation
âś… Discover how to use induction and intention in clinical touch
âś… Integrate soft tissue perception with diagnostic reasoning

MODULE 3

Thoracic & Abdominal Viscera: Clinical Connections

Explore the thoracic and abdominal regions through a somato-visceral lens. Develop palpatory and clinical skills to work with the heart, lungs, liver, stomach, and associated systems.
âś… Examine the role of autonomic innervation in visceral dysfunction
âś… Learn targeted approaches to enhance organ mobility and circulation
âś… Integrate regional treatment with whole-body health strategies

MODULE 4

Cervical Spine & Cranium: Regulation and Reflexes

Delve into the upper spine and cranium to review their influence on systemic health. Learn to work with autonomic ganglia, cranial membranes, and reflex points that regulate visceral function.
âś… Understand cranial-sacral contributions to somato-visceral health
âś… Identify autonomic patterns originating from the cervical spine
âś… Use reflex points to support regulatory pathways and integration

This Course is for you, if...

âś… You work with patients experiencing chronic pain, dysfunction, or complex clinical presentations
âś… You're interested in deepening your understanding of somato-visceral and viscero-somatic relationships
âś… You want to refine your palpation, assessment, and treatment skills using a layered and systems-based approach
✅ You’re seeking practical, hands-on tools grounded in osteopathic philosophy and anatomy
✅ You’re ready to integrate light-touch, fluid-based, and nervous system techniques into your care model with clarity and confidence
