The first time I heard about Guy Voyer was in San Diego in a Paul Chek class in 2009. There was talk that he Guy, as an osteopath, had developed techniques using fascial chains for targeted segmental spinal decompression. Guy called these techniques . Hearing about these claims, I immediately ran a google search on Guy Voyer and ELDOA, but so little came up. It wasn’t enough for me to at the time to divert my focus, however I never forgot about the name Guy Voyer DO and ELDOA. It wasn’t until 2015 where an invitation came across my desk to attend and learn Guy Voyer’s ELDOA in its entirety (classic, pathology, skull etc…) along with Myofascial stretching in Sydney Australia. This was finally my opportunity I thought, so I took it. Little did I know, I would be attend the next 9 years studying under Guy Voyer MD DO, and other like minded and passionate students, in cities like Los Angeles, London, Ft. Lauderdale and Santo Domingo. Topics would include: Postruology and the Squat, techniques in circulation and respiration, Proprioception, Osteo-articular joint pumping, Global Postural Stretching, Physical Conditioning, Cinesiology and so much more. The lessons and lectures Guy taught always incorporated so much depth and complexity, as he brought us into his world of bio-tensegrity, organized vs unorganized fasica, and how to properly train and treat it for health and for sport.
Guy truly was a genius, and a pioneer in the realm of osteopathy and sports medicine. In my opinion he has completely changed the face of traditional osteopathy, and his work alone has contributed so much in the evolution of the field of osteopathy, and also the athletic trainer. It’s remarkably profound for someone to come along and add their mark of research and innovation to a medical profession such as osteopathy, yet the amount of work that Guy Voyer MD DO has contributed to this profession is exactly that; remarkably profound.
I’m deeply saddened to hear of Guy’s passing yesterday. The world lost a one of a kind, brilliant doctor who was so generous with his time, energy and knowledge, as he helped so many people.
Rest in paradise Guy 🙏🏽🕊️ 🤍
