Osteothai for Spine Health: Freeing the Spine

Gentle hands. Deep release. Lasting change.

With expert teacher Flora Bisogno
March 13-15, 2026
Kyōku House, Haarlem, Netherlands

Workshop overview

Osteothai Freeing the Spine is a 3-day bodywork intensive for therapists who want to treat the root causes of spinal pain — not only the symptoms. Using Osteothai’s holistic, hands-on approach, you’ll learn how to restore movement, balance, and function across the musculoskeletal, nervous, fascial, and visceral systems so the spine can heal naturally.


Through gentle, structurally informed techniques you’ll gain practical tools to locate and release restrictions, improve spinal mobility, and support long-term resilience for your clients.


Why join?

This workshop gives you immediately applicable skills and a whole-body framework for working with spinal conditions.

  • Relieve pain, not mask it: Work at the source of lumbar, dorsal, and chronic low-back pain.

  • Improve posture & alignment:Restore spinal balance that supports sustainable movement.

  • Increase mobility & flexibility:Practical techniques to free joints, fascia and soft tissues.

  • Reduce stiffness & inflammation:Promote calm, structural release and better function.

  • Prevent recurrence:Learn strategies to address patterns that predispose clients to repeat injury.

A whole-body approach

Osteothai treats the spine as part of an interconnected system. What looks like “back pain” is often driven by imbalances in the nervous system, fascial continuity, visceral restrictions or compensations elsewhere in the body. By working systemically you’ll be able to uncover hidden drivers and create longer-lasting outcomes.


What you’ll learn

  • Assessment strategies to locate primary drivers of spinal restriction.

  • Hands-on Osteothai techniques to restore lumbar and thoracic mobility.

  • How to integrate fascial, visceral and neural considerations into spinal work.

  • Dynamic and static releases for the pelvis, sacrum, lumbar spine, thoracolumbar junction, and surrounding myofascia.

  • Treatment progressions that move clients from immediate relief to improved function and resilience.

  • Client education and simple home practices to support long-term change.


Benefits for your clients

  • Reduced back and referred pain

  • Improved spinal alignment and posture

Chi Nei Tsang – Detoxing the Emotions 

With Pi Jem

Gentle hands. Deep release. Lasting change.

May 21-25
Kyōku House, Haarlem, Netherlands

Workshop overview

Chi Nei Tsang is a traditional abdominal therapy that supports harmony within the internal organs and the digestive system. Rooted in ancient Taoist healing practices, this method works directly with the belly — the body’s emotional and energetic center — to release tension, move stagnant Qi, and restore inner balance.

In this 5-day workshop, Pi Jem guides you through the art of emotional detoxification through abdominal touch. You will learn how stress, unprocessed emotions, and long-held experiences accumulate within the organs, and how gentle, precise techniques can help the body digest and release these patterns.

A whole-body approach to emotional wellbeing

Chi Nei Tsang views the abdomen as a living map of our inner world. When emotional residue accumulates, it may appear as digestive discomfort, shallow breathing, anxiety, fatigue, or chronic tension throughout the body. By working softly yet deeply with the organs, practitioners help clients reconnect with themselves, promoting emotional clarity and physical ease.

This workshop blends traditional wisdom with hands-on practice, giving you the tools to safely support emotional unfolding and restore the natural flow of Qi.

Why join?

This training gives you practical techniques and a clear framework for working with emotional stress stored in the body.

  • Release emotional tension: Learn to identify and soften areas where emotions accumulate in the organs.
  • Support digestive and internal balance:** Encourage healthier organ function through improved Qi movement.
  • Cultivate deep relaxation:** Bring the nervous system into a state of calm and grounded presence.
  • Enhance energetic flow: Work directly with pathways that influence vitality and emotional resilience.
  • Develop sensitivity and intuitive touch: Learn gentle, effective abdominal techniques for emotional support.
  • Promote long-term emotional wellbeing: Help clients process stress instead of holding it in the tissues.

What you’ll learn

  • Core principles and energetics of Chi Nei Tsang
  • How emotions map onto specific organs and abdominal structures
  • Hands-on techniques for softening, detoxifying, and strengthening the organs
  • Approaches for working with stress, anxiety, and emotional blockages
  • Practitioner presence, listening touch, and how to create emotional safety
  • Complementary self-care practices to support integration and resilience

Benefits for your clients

Lifting the Womb: Uterine Care & Traditional Uterus Lifting with Pi Jem

June 4–8, 2026

Kyōku House, Haarlem, Netherlands

Many women experience multiple physical discomforts at the same time, leaving both clients and practitioners unsure where to begin. Heel pain, migraines, abdominal tension, menstrual irregularities, pelvic discomfort, digestive disturbances, or shoulder tightness may appear unrelated — yet often, they share a single root cause.

This 5-day workshop offers a clear, traditional framework for understanding and addressing these complex presentations. Guided by experienced therapist Pi Jem, you will learn the art and practice of uterus lifting — an ancestral women’s health technique passed down to her by Grandmother Sa-ing, a respected traditional midwife from Southern Thailand who cared for women throughout her 93 years of life.


A whole-body approach to women’s pelvic health

In traditional Thai women’s medicine, uterine displacement is understood as a major cause of recurring or chronic symptoms. When the uterus shifts from its optimal position, the body compensates in many ways — producing pain, tension, irregular cycles, urinary issues, or symptoms that seem disconnected.

Through gentle, precise hands-on work, this workshop teaches you how to restore balance to the pelvic organs and surrounding structures. By addressing the root, rather than treating symptoms in isolation, practitioners can support deeper and more lasting improvement.

Why join?

This training gives you practical, immediately applicable techniques and a clear diagnostic framework for working holistically with women’s health.

  • Treat the cause, not the symptoms:
  • Learn to identify patterns linked to uterine displacement.
  • Support menstrual balance: Help reduce irregularities, pain, and cyclical disturbances.
  • Relieve structural pain: Address heel pain, knee tightness, flank discomfort, shoulder tension, and headaches through pelvic-centered work.
  • Improve digestive and urinary function: Understand how pelvic alignment affects multiple systems.
  • Develop sensitive hands-on skills: Learn safe, respectful, and effective uterus-lifting methods rooted in tradition.
  • Promote long-term wellbeing:** Empower clients with self-care practices that sustain the results

What you’ll learn

  • Assessment strategies to recognize signs of uterine imbalance
  • Traditional uterus-lifting techniques as transmitted by Grandmother Sa-ing
  • How to work safely with abdominal, pelvic, and lower-body structures
  • Connections between pelvic position, organ function, and whole-body symptoms
  • Treatment sequences for both acute and chronic presentations
  • Self-care practices to support ongoing balance and recovery

Benefits for your clients

  • Reduced pain and tension throughout the body
  • Improved menstrual regularity and comfort
  • Better pelvic, digestive, and urinary function
  • Enhanced vitality, grounding, and hormonal balance
  • Longer-lasting relief by addressing the primary cause

Schedule

June 4–8, 2026
Daily schedule will run approximately 10:00–17:00 with breaks.
