Objectives of Evost.

Evost Attitude: developing a critical approach of the philosophy of the profession Osteopathy.

The incredible effect of the course is that we start with "Di-Still-ating" osteopathy, with a critical and self critical approach. As the natural principles unfold and reveal the principles of Still reemerge more potent than ever. The terminology must be adjusted to todays language.

The final objective is to get conscious osteopathic professionals that can see the whole in one and one in the whole. These qualities and insights can than be used in personal research projects.

The five pillars of the Evost Fellowship:

  • The Study, understanding and respect of the profound philosophy and Spirit of Osteopathy, as proposed and described by Dr. A.T. Still.
  • The Osteopathic practice, the main teacher being and staying the patient’s no-name body’s physiology
  • The quest, the scientific research in all fields covered by Evolutionary Osteopathy
  • The personal digging on and personal therapeutic evolution, in each and everyone direction of Evolution and Osteopathy
  • The teaching of how we "work & shift" in stillness, hand in hand with Life’s complexity
