From November 13th to 15th, 2020, we invite you to Europe‘s largest symposium of its kind in the heart of Berlin again. Let us focus for a weekend on joints and mai- pulation in all its facets. Our portfolio could hardly be more international. Numerous masters of their field, from osteo- pathy, as well as medicine, offer versatile space for the perspectives and approaches to the various techniques and models in the here and now of manipulation.
In addition to a unique selection of lectures and workshops, you can also look forward to other spe- cial opportunities for a personal exchange of expe- rience with colleagues, of course. And we are loo- king forward to see you! Your Osteopathie Schule Deutschland
