The lecture will use the model of the poly-vagal theory proposed by Professor Stephen Porges to examine how people respond to life events through social engagement, fight, flight or freeze responses. It will aim to guide Osteopaths how to recognise these different responses and look at why recognising them is important in taking care of the patient and in clinical outcomes.
Graduated from the European School of Osteopathy in 1991, he fell in love with Osteopathy from day one. His passion for the knowledge transmitted by A. T. Still (the founder of Osteopathy) never waned. He continues to enjoy the practicality of daily life, especially the richness of treating everyone from newborn babies to the elderly. His enthusiasm led him to teach and was fortunate enough to be able to travel around Europe in the hope of inspiring other Osteopaths.
His desire to continue to explore and broaden the scope of his osteopathic practice led him to postgraduate training and through this to a committed role at the Sutherland Cranial College of Osteopathy, first as a student and for the last 15 years as a tutor and lecturer.
Interested in working with more complex and long term patterns that present themselves in individuals in the way the psyche and feelings also express themselves in the body. The current growth in scientific understanding of the interrelationship between mind, emotion, and body is particularly rich and provides much evidence to support some of the claims made by A.T. Still. In this way, Michael is endlessly fascinated by the complexity and intelligence of the body and its capacity for repair.
Monitoring the menstrual cycle is an essential tool for assessing hormonal and reproductive health, allowing the identification of dysfunctions such as anovulation or corpus luteum insufficiency.

A palestra utilizará o modelo da teoria polivagal proposto pelo Professor Stephen Porges para examinar a forma como as pessoas respondem aos acontecimentos da vida através do envolvimento social, luta, fuga ou congelamento. O objetivo será orientar os osteopatas sobre como reconhecer estas diferentes respostas e analisar por que razão o seu reconhecimento é importante para cuidar do doente e para os resultados clínicos.

Apesar de sermos uma instituição muito jovem, nem por isso nos devemos esquecer de que o que aqui fazemos é muito antigo, vem de muito longe e vai para muito longe: começou naquele dia perdido nos tempos em que pela primeira vez um ser humano percebeu que por detrás da biomecânica existia uma fisiologia imanente perante a equação da estrutura versos função e era obrigatório passar à geração seguinte a experiência e o saber que «o labor, o trabalho e a ação», como diria Hannah Arendt, lhe tinham proporcionado. Nesse dia longínquo, há dezenas de anos, esse ser humano deu início a uma das atividades mais belas e mais nobres da Humanidade: o ensino da Osteopatia.
É com o compromisso e o dever para com os nossos antecessores e alunos, que assumimos o ensino da Medicina Osteopática segundo os seus primórdios Princípios, com intuito na evolução e progresso do conhecimento.
Bem hajam ao IPOC.
O Diretor,
Marco Silvestre
