Vision and Mission
Vision
Osteopathy is as well a science as also an art.
Therefore, there is a lot of rational knowledge to pass on, as well as skills beyond words, that the brain can barely grasp, but the heart of the artist can.
Our wish, is not only to teach you osteopathy, but to initiate you to osteopathy.
At SICO, you’ll be fed with scientific knowledge, biomechanics and many other concepts, but what shall nourish your future work as an osteopath, is the profound experience to be a witness at the edge between the physical expression of life and its source. We would be happy to welcome you on that journey with us and to share our passion with you.
Mission
An osteopath is a being, that is available for the universal forces of life, so that they can find their full expression in the patients. And a being that is available for patients, to help them getting back into a more intimate contact with their own nature. Health should happen naturally, as the most obvious consequence of a well working mechanism.
If your vision is to become an osteopath, our mission is conduct and guide you through this process and to promote the knowledge and experience needed. Our mission is to serve life by serving you on your path.
