Ackermann Clinic
Rooted in clinical practice
The Ackermann Institute is more than a course provider – we run an active clinic in central Stockholm where the method is practised every day.
As a patient you meet experienced, attentive therapists. Here you are treated with our own method of structural osteopathy and soft chiropractic, as well as naprapathy, massage, physiotherapy, shockwave and more.
Our education
From Basic to Certificate of Honour
Structural osteopathy and soft chiropractic are taught in our 5-day intensive course for practising manual therapists – for example physiotherapists, naprapaths or chiropractors. Experienced massage therapists can also benefit greatly. The course gives you the clinical keys to successfully help patients towards a pain-free, mobile everyday life.
Basic
The fundamentals of structural osteopathy and soft chiropractic – theory combined with practice.
Advanced
Deepening and revision.
Certificate of Honour
Certificate of Honour – the highest level within the Ackermann method.
