Dear Marco, dear Bodil,
please take note of the fact that the term osteopath - as Marco mentioned
'becoming one after a 1200 h Postgraduate Cours - ' IS NOT THE SAME IN EUROPE
AS IT IS IN E.G. US OR SWEDEN. There are many legal aspects to be considered
apart from the professional differences : e.g. in the States Osteopaths are
basically MDs (medical doctors) and the carry a totally different status as do
Osteopaths in New Zealand, Australia or Europe...You will probably be better of
inquiring for Osteopathic training or Cranial Therapy education in your own
country.... Just a tought.
