General Osteopathic Treatment
This subject teaches a holistic, whole body treatment approach and is incorporated with osteopathic medicine to give students the ability to effectively treat not only musculo-skeletal conditions but more systemic conditions such as asthma, irritable bowel syndrome etc.

Osteopathic Diagnosis and Technique
At the forefront of our teaching are osteopathic diagnostic skills and osteopathic techniques, which allow our students to become proficient in the skills they will require to work effectively within the osteopathic profession.

Cranial Osteopathy
Cranial osteopathy is encountered by students throughout their four years at the E.S.O. with the majority of teaching occurring in years 3 and 4. At the E.S.O. we actively encourage the implementation of cranial techniques within an holistic treatment plan and offer our students the ability to refine these techniques both in the classroom and in a clinical environment.

Structural Articulation
Taking it’s origins from the history of osteopathy, structural articulation equips our students with direct effective techniques that will prove a useful and beneficial tool throughout their under-graduate and post-graduate practice years.

Osteopathic Tutorials
Osteopathic technique practice is essential to develop, adapt and refine one's skills. These lectures, which run throughout the 4 years of the course, offer the opportunity to do just that. Under the supervision of senior osteopathic lecturers, pratical skills can be consistently enhanced and developed.

Language of Osteopathy
Osteopathy at the E.S.O. has it’s tradition steeped in osteopathic history. This course identifies the origins of osteopathy and osteopathic techniques andto brings them up to date and make them relevant to today’s osteopaths.

Visceral Osteopathy
Our visceral organs form an important part of our anatomy and physiology, making them a significant consideration when formulating an osteopathic diagnosis and treatment plan. The holistic approach to osteopathy at the E.S.O. emphasises this and equips our students with the diagnostic skills and treatment techniques appropriate to these organs.

Sports Osteopathy
Musculo-skeletal injury and dysfunction is a common phenomenon encountered in osteopathic practice. However, sports related injuries may require a wider ranging approach to achieve long term alleviation. This part of the course explores features that may be necessary when treating both amateur and professional sports people.

Advanced Clinical Practice
Used to support the clinical aspects of the course in years 3 and 4, advanced clinical practice is designed to look at common patient conditions and how osteopathic diagnosis and treatment can be effectively used to improve or alleviate them.

Osteopathic Care of Children
Introduced in year 3, this course is designed to prepare students for their role in the specialist children’s clinic in year 4. It looks at the examination, diagnosis and osteopathic treatment of children with emphasis upon a holistic approach.

Clinical Osteopathic Integration
C.O.I. allows students to integrate their theoretical and practical knowledge base and apply it to a clinical environment. This is particularly useful in the initial part of their clinical years.

Osteopathic Medicine
Forming part of a combined course, this component is intertwined with G.O.T. to produce a comprehensive approach to the osteopathic treatment of conditions such as Irritable bowel syndrome, simple respiratory infections, headaches etc.
