The Institute Of Classical Osteopathy

The Institute of Classical Osteopathy (ICO) is an independent organisation of osteopaths, practitioners and students with an interest in the Principles and Practice of Classical Osteopathy. Current membership stands at 78 UK members and 112 overseas members from 18 countries including Belgium, Canada, Japan, Spain, Italy and Sweden. The ICO (originally called The Institute of Applied Technique) was established in 1956 by the late John Wernham and T.E.

Hall. Their aim was to bring together like minded osteopaths, to discuss and explore the full breadths of osteopathic care, taking information gathered by early pioneering Osteopaths in the US and the UK, most notably John Martin Littlejohn. We have been teaching and publishing ever since. Foundation Course: The ICO runs an annual Foundation Course for osteopaths wishing to further their interest in Classical Osteopathy.
