Courses : Specialization Course : Course contents

The following topics are covered in our advanced course:

  • Deepening of the basic courses (especially fall semesters)
  • Rapid examination of the entire WS
  • Treatment strategy for complex diagnostics
  • Differential diagnosis structure versus function
  • patient demonstrations
  • documentation
  • Personal Billing / Marketing

The advanced course concept of the FOI® consists of 2 different courses, an advanced course A and B.

These courses have been put together for therapists who, after the basic courses, work a lot with the FOI® in practice and want to expand their therapeutic skills in this treatment concept.

Advanced course A deals with the diaphragm and all structures located cranial to it. This course focuses on the cervical, thoracic and upper extremities.

Advanced course B deals with the diaphragm and the structures caudal to it. This course focuses on the lumbar spine, pelvis and lower extremities.

In essence, it is all about the questions of how the therapeutic successes can be stabilized in the long term and what triggers for recurrences could be. Main topics are:

  • Alternative techniques (indirect treatments, involving gravity)
  • Complex findings and their treatment
  • Reducing the intensity of treatment
  • Differential diagnosis structure versus function
  • Reading and interpreting MRI and X-ray images
  • treatment strategy
  • Diagnosis versus Prognosis
  • Improving the (treatment) speed of treatment
  • Myofascial, multi-segmental detonation and stabilization
  • Reactivation of natural movement patterns (especially important in chronic patients)

The last 2 topics in particular are dealt with practically extensively. We deliberately chose to separate the upper and lower half of the body, because this enables us to make FOI® therapists real specialists for the affected regions. Thus, the two advanced courses can be booked independently of each other and we can still go into the subject in depth.
