The practice of osteopathy draws its originality from its use of manual mediation in the art of treating another person. This very beautiful adventure, on which you are invited, opens the way to a passion and a treatment protocol imbued with a purity of movement affording gratification unlike any other.

 

Since its creation in 1984, the CSO’s mission has been to train competent, generous and effective practitioners capable of meeting the requirements of a profession with heavy responsibilities.

 

The CSO’s training has built its distinctive reputation on:

 

- teaching based on excellence: the CSO has established the qualitative and quantitative criteria for first rate training in collaboration with national and international osteopathy authorities.

 

- a multidisciplinary approach which continuously adapts to the needs of the profession and the student’s personal development.

 

- a spirit of decision based on the perfect command of scientific knowledge and the development of the intuition which leads the graduate to structure himself, revealing his therapeutic aptitude and self discovery.

 

- a humanist and ethical foundation: the CSO’s humanist tradition adds an essential dimension to its teaching, thanks to which each student takes the measure of his future profession and develops his aptitude to take on his mission. Ethics, the natural basis of the values cultivated by the CSO require a collective involvement in the service of the individual.

 

Beyond knowledge, a degree and skills, our vocation is to pass on a passion.
