Professor Laurie Hartman, DO, PhD was awarded a Diploma of Osteopathy in 1964 from the British School of Osteopathy (BSO) in London, England.  He went into private practice and teaching immediately. He has taught at the BSO for 40 years; both in the clinic and in the classroom.  In 1978 he became head of the Technique Department at the BSO. He has traveled to 21 countries teaching minimal leverage technique to physical therapists, osteopaths, chiropractors and physicians.  He was given a Professorship in 1994 which was the first in England for writing his book and his DVDs on Osteopathic Technique.  His clinical experience stems from treating over 60,000 patients in his own clinic.  He started the sports injuries clinic at the BSO in London and is the Osteopathic physician for the British Judo team.

Professor Hartman is now almost retired and but he still enjoys travelling to lecture on the safe Osteopathic approach of which he is very passionate.  He has trained in karate and reached 3rd Dan.  He loves making and flying model planes and helicopters, Tai Chi, watercolor painting, and is now learning how to fly a Microlite plane.

This is an intermediate to advanced manual therapy course that will cover soft tissue mobilization, joint mobilization and thrust joint mobilization. Professor Hartman is a master clinician who will demonstrate how his minimal leverage thrust techniques to the cervical and lumbar spine can help reduce unwanted forces and increase patient comfort.  He will demonstrate the appropriate soft tissue mobilization techniques for preparing the tissues for thrust joint mobilization. He will also demonstrate how to use joint mobilization to reach a target segment and make the thrust technique more effective.
