Via Aurelia 480
After having promoted and successfully organized the first series of Osteopathic Congress in Italy, the University Foundation L.U.Me.N.Oli.S and the School of Osteopathy C.R.O.M.O.N. of Rome are delighted to announce for the first time ever in the history of the Osteopathic development
The First International Congress of Osteopathy applied to Animal Practice
Through the gathering of the most representative associations and the most experienced Osteopaths in
this peculiar but yet fascinating field, this congress aims to propose the Osteopathic Practice as a
Science, Art and an Integrated Manual Medicine; applicable successfully to the majority of the animal
kingdom; available to share a common language based on evidence and research, in open
interaction and integration with Veterinary Surgeons.
The objective of the event will be to propose the
evidence and the efficacy of Osteopathy applied to most species of the animal kingdom, with all of its
limits and results: from birds to equines, from reptiles to elephants, from the exotic animals to the
domesticated ones.
Through a clinical and research based language, Osteopathy will be offering its
contribution to the assistance and health of many animal patients. Each session will explore multiple
aspects of Osteopathic manipulation on different animals presenting various clinical conditions.
They will
then be discussed in depth during the round table sessions that will gather numerous experts in the
medical and osteopathic field. In addition, the objective of this congress will be addressed to the
Osteopaths present, by inviting them to expand their knowledge and clinical experience to a world
often underestimated, but yet so open and responsive to Osteopathic treatment, such as that one
populated by animals...
Due to the high number of abstracts submitted from all over the globe, the submission date for sending scientific abstracts has been extended to the 15th April 2012. If you are interested in participating as a speaker, please send the abstract of your work to the Scientific Board by the deadline date.
During Friday 28th and the morning of Saturday 29th of September, the congress will be arranged into six sessions addressing different species of the animal kingdom (exotics, cats, dogs, birds, equines, wild), with national and international speakers, who will be presenting research based studies made in the light of an Integration between Veterinary and Osteopathic Medicine.
