Course Description

The brain has always fascinated the medical community and scientists. The various investigative tools of the brain have made exceptional progress. For example, functional MRI can highlight not only structural but also functional problems. Even so, the brain has remained a mystery despite all the research for which it has been a subject.

Jean-Pierre Barral has been interested in the brain for over forty years. After treating many people with head trauma, stroke, brain diseases, and psychomotor disabilities, he has developed original techniques to help these patients. All the while remaining humble while working with this amazing cerebral mass that is capable of thinking.

The course is organized into two parts, a structural approach and a functional approach:

  • The structural approach is aimed at the vascular, nervous, meningeal, ocular, barometric, and cerebrospinal fluid circulation systems.
  • The functional approach explores the sense of smell, hearing, sight, language, coordination, proprioception, emotions, etc.
  • As usual with Barral’s seminars, there will be extensive time spent on precise hands-on treatment.

Prerequisite: - VM1 or NM1 & LT1

Christoph Sommer, (HP- Germany) completed his basic manual education at the Rolf Institute of Structural Integration. He is a Rolfing® Instructor for the Rolf Institute, Boulder, CO and the European Rolfing® Association e.V. Since 1986; he has worked in private practice in Munich in the field of the manual treatment of the human structure.

Peter Schwind, developer of the “Fascia and membrane technique” and Advanced Rolfing® Instructor, has been a teacher and mentor for over 25 years and has had ongoing influence in the evolution of his work.

On his path of developing skills and expertise in the field, he trained in CranioSacral Therapy at the Upledger Institute with various Rolfing® instructors; he studied with Peter Levine (Somatic Experiencing), Ron Kurtz (founder of the Hakomi-Method of body-centred psychotherapy) and Hubert Godard, (Rolfing Movement Instructor and former dean of the University Paris IV) amongst other modalities.

Starting his studies of Visceral Manipulation with Jean Pierre Barral (D.O.) in 1989 in Germany, he has followed the evolution of Barral’s work over the last 25 years. The general attitude of this work, respecting the organism, being specific with educated and “listening” hands, as well as treating with minimal force have proven to be the most effective attitude in creating reliable and lasting results in daily practice.

Together with Jean-Pierre Barral and Peter Schwind, he is the Co–Founder of the “MUNICH GROUP for interdisciplinary manual treatment modalities” and is teaching all levels of Barral’s work including the original work of “Visceral and Neural Manipulation” with the Barral Institute, the Munich Group GbR as well as post-graduate classes in osteopathy schools in Europe since 2001.
