13th International
Congress of Osteopathy
German Association of Osteopaths, VOD
30th Sept.- 03rd Oct. 2010, Hamburg, Germany

Welcome

The philosophy of osteopathy and everyday experience of osteopaths in practice cannot always be reconciled. How are philosophical ideals and scientific approaches reflected in practical actions, what value does science have to do with attending to patients on a daily basis? The 13^th International Congress of the German Association of Osteopaths, which will be taking place in Hamburg for the very first time, aims to provide answers to and promote discussion of these questions. Another main topic will be osteopathic treatment of children, especially aftercare of premature infants, the biodynamic treatment of children with Balanced Fluid Tension (BFT) and the assessment and treatment of the child’s spine and cranial base.

Greeting by the Board

The International Congress of the German Association of Osteopaths (VOD) is breaking fresh ground. The congress made a name for itself during the twelve years it was held in Schlangenbad, near Wiesbaden, as a forum for qualitatively first-class osteopathy with speakers and participants from around the world. In 2010, the Association is indeed implementing a decisive principle of osteopathy with its premier on “Campus Lehre” in the University Medical Centre of Hamburg-Eppendorf (UKE): life is movement. New stimuli and advancements will determine this 13th International Congress in Hamburg. Further education, information and an exchange of ideas at the highest level with renowned speakers on the main topics of “Osteopathy for Children”, “Science and Osteopathy” and “Philosophy and Osteopathy” will dominate happenings here in northern Germany over four days. Besides highly interesting lectures, seven workshops and a varied leisure programme, the postgraduate courses with Renzo Molinari on the one hand and Lynn Haller and his team from SCC London, on the other, will also be a true highlight.

We wish to welcome most cordially all the faithful followers and new faces in Hamburg, who are inspired by osteopathy. We are particularly proud to have the patronage of two leading personalities: Christoph Ahlhaus, First Mayor of Hamburg, and Prof. Udo Schumacher (med.), Chair of the Department of Anatomy in UKE. We are also very pleased to welcome the Director of the Kirkville Museum, Jason Haxton, who will be telling us about new museum exhibits.

I wish us all an informative and enjoyable long weekend in Hamburg.
