Having taken SAT 1, you are now familiar with the basics of SAT. You have an overview of the philosophy and practice, and you are capable of putting it into practice and learning from the process. 

However, it is now time to hear it again with refinement and further practice and to discover that somehow you are hearing it in a different way and, therefore, putting it into action in a different way. This is the emphasis of SAT 2.

There will be multiple opportunities to appreciate what a pattern means, how it looks from person to person, how the variations in the presentation show themselves in a spinal configuration and how it moulds the approach you are going to take.

But then we introduce the concept of Tissue Fields and Levels of Function. This enables you to experience the intelligence of the body as it works through each tissue type, both in structure and function. To begin to experience a level of response from the body according to where you, the practitioner, place your awareness and experience the body responding in a profoundly effective way. Moving always by nature toward better health through better function of the tissues of the body. 

Then, likewise, we experience the level at which the body is functioning, the depth of that function and how to communicate effectively with the intelligence that is seeking better balance. Although this goes a little beyond the original format of specific mobilization of the spine, it lends itself to a sublime interplay between the deeper intention within the body and the practitioner’s knowledge of how the spinal mechanics respond to specificity.

Moving on then to SAT 3, we develop the intention to be much less of ‘doing’ an osteopath and more of ‘being’ an osteopath. Where the skills are more the tools that we choose to suit the body’s needs, but our sense of being more in ourselves enables an outcome way beyond the mechanical.

We have witnessed many osteopaths on our courses achieve realizations that have enabled them to be truly creative with the whole concept of specificity. Where the deeper knowing within us as ‘spiritual beings having a human experience’ enables a relationship to be formed with the intelligence in the body which takes the results well beyond the norm of the technique.

We hope that you will be encouraged to join Alain and me in a truly collaborative process that will enhance your understanding of osteopathy and quicken your enthusiasm for what SAT may produce as a healing response within your patients.

We believe that SAT2 and 3, practised closely together, will give you the tools to become masters of this awe-inspiring approach to the osteopathic modality. Gez Lamb
