The Postgraduate Program in Structural Osteopathy in Sports is designed for qualified osteopaths who wish to deepen their specific skills in the assessment, treatment, and follow-up of athletes, with a special focus on the context of high-performance sports. In a landscape where sports practice demands increasingly precise, safe, and effective clinical responses, this program offers an advanced approach to structural osteopathic intervention, integrating theoretical foundations, guided clinical practice, and the analysis of real or simulated cases. The central objective is to equip professionals with the skills for technically rigorous intervention, tailored to the athlete¿s biomechanical, functional, and competitive demands. The course is taught by Eric Robinson, a certified osteopath with extensive clinical and teaching experience in the field of sports osteopathy. His teaching methodology emphasizes a practical, safe, and progressive approach, enabling students to develop greater confidence, technical precision, and clinical decision-making skills.

Applicants must hold a bachelor¿s degree in osteopathy or a legally recognized equivalent. The selection process may take into account academic background, professional experience, and motivation for enrolling in the program.

By the end of the program, participants should be able to assess athletes holistically, identify functional patterns associated with sports practice, apply structural techniques safely and accurately, and define appropriate intervention strategies for the prevention, management, and recovery from sports injuries. This postgraduate program thus aims to contribute to the advancement of osteopathic practice in sports, promoting a differentiated, safe, and effective clinical approach aligned with current requirements for athlete care.

Healthcare professionals, osteopaths, or others with an interest in these fields (subject to a review of their academic background).

- Develop the ability to perform a clinical and functional assessment of athletes, taking into account the biomechanical, postural, and sport-specific demands, as well as their injury history and the training or competition context. - Deepen the ability to interpret signs and symptoms associated with sports injuries, integrating knowledge of osteopathic semiology, functional anatomy, and biomechanics, in order to define appropriate and safe intervention priorities. - Acquire practical skills in performing structural techniques applied to the spine and musculoskeletal system, with technical rigor, control, precision, and adherence to clinical safety criteria. - Equip professionals with the skills to adapt osteopathic interventions to the different phases of an athlete¿s care, including prevention, functional recovery, return to sports, and optimization of physical performance. - Develop skills in identifying contraindications, risk factors, and limits of intervention, promoting responsible osteopathic practice based on good clinical practices, monitoring of outcomes, and continuous improvement in the quality of care.
