✨ Free Webinar: Discover Classical Osteopathy ✨
Thinking about training in Classical Osteopathy?
Join us for an open Q&A webinar where we unpack everything you want to know about the course.

🎓 We’ll answer your real questions:
•⁠ ⁠What exactly is taught?
•⁠ ⁠Where & when does the training happen?
•⁠ ⁠How long is the course?
•⁠ ⁠How much work is involved?
•⁠ ⁠What reading is recommended?
•⁠ ⁠What are the costs and payment options?
•⁠ ⁠And anything else you want to ask!

💡 Why students join this course:
Many practitioners feel that something is missing in their current practice or training—
a desire for deeper principles, a clearer rationale for treatment, and a more integrated understanding of the body’s mechanics and natural laws.

Our Classical Osteopathy programme helps bridge that gap by:
This training goes deeper into:
✨ classical principles
✨ whole-body mechanics
✨ a clearer rationale for treatment
✨ reconnecting with osteopathy’s original foundations

🗓 Date: Wednesday 10th December
🕒 Time: 7pm UK time
💻 Location: Online webinar (free to join)
📩 Register: https://buytickets.at/instituteofclassicalosteopathy/1965972

If you’re curious, searching for more depth, or feeling there’s “something more” to osteopathy — this webinar is for you.
If you’re looking for greater meaning, clarity, and unity in your treatments, you’ll find it here.

🧠🌙 WEBINAR ANNOUNCEMENT
Dr Alberto Garoli | Chronobiology & Clinical Practice

Join us for a deep dive into how biological rhythms, circadian regulation, and cybernetic feedback systems shape patient health — and how clinicians can work with these rhythms rather than against them.

Dr Garoli will explore:
✨ The science of chronobiology and internal bio-clocks
✨ Vagal signalling and autonomic patterning
✨ Biological fluctuation and its clinical implications
✨ How timing influences vulnerability, recovery, and responsiveness
✨ Chronotherapeutic insights for improving outcomes
✨ Understanding “circadian flow” and its clinical relevance
✨ Practical case examples and chronobiological monitoring

A fresh, integrative perspective on timing, physiology, and whole-body regulation.
Ideal for practitioners interested in advancing precision-based, rhythm-aligned care.

📅 Wednesday 26the November at 7pm UK time.

Free to Institute of Classical Osteopathy members, £15 to non-members.

It was an honour to present Chris Campbell with his Fellowship of the Institute of Classical Osteopathy (FICO) during our Vault seminar at the Littlejohn Centre in Dublin.

Chris has made an outstanding contribution to the teaching, research, and preservation of Classical Osteopathy — his dedication continues to inspire students and colleagues alike.

Congratulations, Chris — a well-deserved recognition of your commitment and service to our profession. 👏✨

The Vault Course - Littlejohn Centre, Dublin
We’ve just finished an incredible first 4-day seminar at the Littlejohn Centre in Dublin, filled with thought-provoking presentations, in-depth discussions, and inspiring demonstrations involving multiple practitioners and clinic patients with some really interesting non MSK presentations.

It was a truly wonderful weekend of learning, sharing, and reconnecting with the spirit of Classical Osteopathy.

A huge thank you to all who presented, attended, and contributed to making this such a memorable event! 👏✨

A wonderful 4 day seminar in Finland!
The ICO team had a fantastic time teaching at the Atlas School of Osteopathy in Espoo.

Our Finnish colleagues brought great enthusiasm, thoughtful questions, and a true passion for Classical Osteopathy.
It’s inspiring to see the principles of Still, Littlejohn, and Wernham being explored and applied with such depth and curiosity.

Thank you to everyone at Atlas for the warm welcome and engaging seminar — we look forward to seeing you all again soon!

If you’re still ruminating on this course, this is a reminder that it’s your last chance to get on it as it starts tomorrow 😁.

🌿 Introduction to Natural Therapeutics 🌿

Natural therapeutics was always at the core of osteopathy, forming the foundation of A.T. Still’s principle that “the body contains its own medicine chest.” Once a staple of undergraduate education, this vital aspect of osteopathy has been left out of many Osteopathic Educational Institutions today.

This short course is an excellent opportunity to revisit—or be introduced to—these essential principles. Through a series of practical online lectures with Chris Campbell at The Littlejohn Centre, you’ll explore how to apply the laws and principles of nature to encourage healing and strengthen your understanding of health and disease.

📅 Runs every two weeks from Thursday 25th September to Thursday 20th November 2025
🕖 7pm (90 minutes each session)
💻 Online | 💶 €250

👉 Suitable for anyone interested in learning how to use natural methods of healing for common ailments.

The "No Physiology" through to Littlejohn's departure from Kirksville, his setting up the school in Chicago, returning to England, the establishment of the BSO to he death in 1947 and the difficulties at the BSO which led to the formation of the Institute of Classical Osteopathy in 1954

In this episode, we pick up the story with the so-called “No Physiology” incident — a myth that has long clouded the relationship between Still and Littlejohn.We follow Littlejohn’s departure from the American School of Osteopathy, setting up the school in Chicago, his return to England, the...
