“Hands On II” – introductory osteopathy training day, Järva-Jaani

The story of the spine – layer by layer.

Saturday 21 November 2026, 11:00–16:00, Tee-line café, Pikk 29, Järva-Jaani.

Spine, back or backbone – what connects them and what sets them apart? How does the body’s axis form? What keeps us upright and lets us move? How is the back connected with the nervous system and the internal organs?

We trace the story of the back layer by layer: from development in the womb to the structure and function of the adult body. We also look back through history at the meaning given to the spine in different cultures.

Above all, we put our hands on! We learn to sense our body better and try simple, safe techniques that can also be used at home.

No prior attendance needed; newcomers are welcome.

Programme: 11:00 welcome; 11:10 the story of the spine; 12:00 break; 12:10 the back through the ages; 12:30 layer by layer (skin, connective tissue, muscles, ligaments, bones; workbook); 13:00 lunch; 14:00 touch and palpation practice in pairs; 14:40 spinal cord and nerves; 15:00 break; 15:10 links between the back and internal organs; 15:35 things you can try at home; 15:50 questions and close.

For everyone who wants to understand their body, learn simple techniques to support their own and their loved ones’ well-being, and for people working with bodies, healthcare staff and anyone curious about osteopathy. No anatomy or osteopathy knowledge needed.
