Course Overview
In this webinar, Kevin Ryan again shares his knowledge of the Methods developed by Australian Osteopath Thomas (Tom) Bowen for helping clients with presentations of muscular-skeletal pain and dysfunction. These methods use well-known acupuncture points with a rolling soft tissue method applied in a specific sequence to achieve an improved range of motion to joint function. Nine real clients with a range of complaints are presented with a history of their condition. They are examined and appropriate postural, orthopedic and Range of Motion tests are applied.

A session plan for each client is devised that takes into account the developmental sequence of the complaint over time. The appropriate Bowen Methods are selected based on the above information and carried out to match the plan. As an example there are three cases presenting with knee dysfunction. The sequence of application of the Methods is different based on the history, observation and testing. Assessment of the effectiveness of each method and a comparative postural assessment is carried out at the end of the session.

Pre-requisite: Bowen Methods Course 1 and Course 2.
Objective
  • The viewer will further develop an understanding of the uniqueness of the Bowen methods as a Tui Na, Shiatsu or bodywork tool through exposure to the application of the Methods to different clients.
  • The viewer will be able to describe the acupuncture points that are used as the basis of the application of each method. They will further incorporate the this knowledge into their understanding of the role of TCM and/or Shiatsu in health care.
  • The viewer will be able to use assessment both before and after the application of each Method. They will thus be able to follow the effectiveness of the session in real time.
  • The viewer will learn the overall postural implications following application of these Methods in a sequence plan to improve joint range of movement and function in general
  • The viewer will be come more aware of the roles that history taking, observation and testing have leading to diagnosis and planning a session.

    About Kevin Ryan

    Dr Kevin Ryan is AHPRA registered in Australia, to practice both Acupuncture and Osteopathy. He practices in Melbourne, Victoria. He was born at an early age in 1949. He has a continuing full time clinic practice of over 47 years. He has particular interests in the treatment of muscular-skeletal dysfunction, pain and neurological conditions, compromised fertility, mood disorders, inflammatory arthritis and endocrine disorders. He maintains a practice with a significant number of babies and children and disability patients. He was fortunate to study with the now world famous Geelong Osteopath Thomas Ambrose Bowen during the final 3 years of his life. Kevin returned the favor in some measure, by keeping Tom's practice operating for three months while it was on the market. Tom held a free monthly clinic for disability clients for much of his 35 years in practice. This clinic was kept running for some 12 years after tom's death. Over the last 18 years, and following his exposure to the Master Tung system of acupuncture, Kevin has developed his own unique approach to the use of gentle finger tip contact of acupuncture point pairs to treat muscular skeletal presentations. This is now known as Dao Ma (Coupled Point) Posture Method. These Methods have been developed sufficiently to present the approach in both face to face workshop and online formats. The Dao Ma and Bowen Methods may be used with needling and most Tui na and Shiatsu techniques. Kevin has a long and continuing role in Program Advisory Committees in University courses in both TCM and in Osteopathy. He is former and founding member of the Complementary Medicines Evaluation Committee of the Australian Therapeutic Goods Administration. Kevin is a well respected and accomplished practitioner of Natural Medicine specializing in Constitutional Homeopathy. He is an active presenter at Acupuncture Association Conferences.
