Who can we help using this constitutional approach?
The constitutional approach to therapeutics recognises 4 general cohorts or groups of patients. Before we attempt to engage a case – we have to consider whether or not the constitutional approach is clinically appropriate. Group 1 would consider patients who are not complex, rarely if ever suppressing natural healing events. Group 2 would considers patients who range from those who may use occasional over the counter suppression with increasing regularity. Group 3 represents patients who for whatever reason would need specialist knowledge to unpack on the road back to better health. Group 4 represents patients who it would not be considered appropriate to approach from a constitutional perspective or outside the skill set of the practitioner.
Which group of patients are we aiming at approaching on this course?
Each part of the 4 part film course is intended to give the practitioner enough underpinning theory and knowledge to be able to approach patients in groups 1 and 2.
Dealing with patients in group 3 requires an extension of the processes of patient management learned on this course to the next level. Gaining these skills would be part of the Practical Course mentoring pathway to full membership of the British Institute of Osteopathy, due to the complex nature of healing reactions in difficult chronic cases. Group 4 is patients are those deemed to be outside the remit for constitutional approaches or beyond the skill set of the practitioner. The key is that all of the knowledge in each course can be built upon as your ability to apply the work, with mentorship, grows. You make the work your own because this course is about generating peers, not followers. By the end of this course you should be able to confidently decide which group your patient is in and have started developing strategies to understand and help them.
