Course description:
The main concepts and procedures taught in the basic course will be reviewed throughout this course. From the fundamental introduction and experiences of the Living Bioenergy Field and the use of vibration on the physical body, this course is designed to expand the knowledge and develop the skills to realize that the Living Bioenergy Field is the place for the Osteopathic physician to put his primary focus. To learn that changes in the Living Bioenergy Field will result in a change in the physical body. The better the Osteopathic physician is able to change his awareness from physical/material world to the invisible bioenergy world and vibration, the more effective the treatment will be.
This course is designed to provide the science and experiences to develop the awareness of one’s own Living Bioenergy Field in order to resonate with that of the patient both in diagnosis and treatment. To further the fundamental principle of vibration and the percussion hammer, as taught by Dr. Fulford, to affect a correction of the traumatic forces locked in the Living Bioenergy Field resulting in a treatment correction (Normalization) in the physical body.
Prerequisite: Basic Percussion Hammer Course.

Speaker Profiles
 Richard W. Koss, DO, S-SPOMM, C-ACOFP is residency-trained and board certified in the Osteopathic principles and practice called, Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine (OMM). In 1990 Dr. Koss became a protege of Dr. Robert C. Fulford, a strong proponent of diagnosing and treating the whole person, not just the physical symptoms. Dr. Koss has furthered the principals of OMM and Fulford in his practice and through lectures and courses. "My entire view and understanding of osteopathic principals were radically changed when I witnessed the miraculous results that Dr. Fulford was able to achieve in treating both children and adults." While working with Dr. Fulford from 1990-97, Dr. Koss assisted in teaching 22 basic courses and 15 advanced courses. Through the years Dr. Koss has continued to refine OMM techniques in both evaluating the patient and providing guided table training to get the basic concepts across by utilizing the Fulford percussion hammer. In addition to the U.S., his lectures and courses have taken him to Japan, Italy, Russia, Brazil and Switzerland.

Fulford Intermediate Course Goals and Objectives
Goals
To deepen the knowledge of the Living Bioenergy Fields in both the participant and the patient. To deepen the understanding of fascia in the interplay between the energy fields and the physical body. To understand the role of fascial in absorbing and mitigating traumatic forces. To understand the use of vibration in diagnosis (use of the mind) and treatment (via the use of the percussion hammer) as pioneered by Robert C. Fulford, DO.
Objectives
By the end of the course the participant will be able to:
Develop a greater ability to understand the fundamental principle of vibration in the construct of the universe. And employ these in both diagnoses and treatment using the percussion vibrator.
Increase the understanding of the fascia as the organ involved in the transition/ materialization of the Living Bioenergy Field into its physical expression in the growth, development, and maintenance of the physical body.
Develop the skills needed to evaluate the vibrations of normal life in the human body. And the palpatory skills needed to diagnose abnormal frequencies within the physical body as a result of trauma.
Refine the use of the percussion hammer in Osteopathic treatment as an instrument to work with the traumatic energy fields locked in the Normal Living Bioenergy Fields.
Use these concepts with the percussion hammer on key areas of the body typically used in Osteopathic treatment.
Understand the indications and contraindications in the use of the percussion hammer.
Prerequisite: Basic Percussion Hammer Course. You must provide year attended and instructor.
