International conference on

Osteopathy Conference 2020

Dear friends of osteopathy,

look forward to the Osteopathy Conference 2020 with us.

From November 13th to 15th, 2020, we invite you to Europe‘s largest symposium of its kind in the heart of Berlin again.

Let us focus for a weekend on joints and mai-pulation in all its facets. Our portfolio could hardly be more international. Numerous masters of their field, from osteo-pathy, as well as medicine, offer versatile space for the perspectives and approaches to the various techniques and models in the here and now of manipulation.

In addition to a unique selection of lectures and workshops, you can also look forward to other spe-cial opportunities for a personal exchange of expe-rience with colleagues, of course. And we are loo-king forward to see you!
