Welcome to the Revolution in the Evolution of Manual Therapy
In the training course, you will explore "The Reaset Approach," a hands-on therapeutic methodology and treatment modality designed for easy integration into your manual therapy practice.
In today's rapidly changing world, the nature of health challenges has undergone a significant shift from the 20th-century paradigm. Previously, health issues arose mainly from external physical forces, i.e. biomechanical stressors, resulting in functional or structural dysfunction (somatic dysfunction). However, in the 21st century, a crucial transformation has taken place. Present-day somatic dysfunctions, including musculoskeletal disorders (MSD’s) are linked to psychosocial or adaptive stress rather than biomechanical factors or physical trauma and are rarely just stand-alone issues.
While the somatic symptoms that prompt a patient to seek help from you today may appear similar to what they've experienced before, the pathway from aetiology to symptom manifestation may be markedly different. In today's digital and fast-changing society, alterations in the autonomic nervous system (ANS), the 'autonomic lesion,' is often the starting point for pain or dis-ease. Unlike external physical forces that directly influence structure or function, today's pathway to a patient's symptoms is therefore often indirect.
Traditional treatment approaches, originally designed to address somatic dysfunction resulting from direct biomechanical factors or physical trauma, are often applied to instances stemming from psychosocial or adaptive stress-induced autonomic alterations. Regrettably, these approaches frequently yield unsatisfactory results as they overlook the shift in the pathway from aetiology to symptom manifestation and the addition of another factor to the dis-ease pathway: the autonomic lesion. Neglecting this crucial element can significantly impact the treatment outcome.
Amidst this evolving healthcare landscape, The Reaset Approach emerges as a tailored therapeutic methodology and treatment modality designed to address the shifting aetiology and the influence of the autonomic lesion on their more complex health issues now encountered by manual therapists.

Many, if not all, of today's health problems, including musculoskeletal pain, cardiovascular disease, migraines, burnout, long-COVID, and mental health problems like depression and anxiety, can be linked to a form of dysautonomia, especially stress-related dysautonomia.
This is why The Reaset Approach considers the autonomic lesion – a new term coined by myself – which underlies stress-related dysautonomia and subsequently leads to the patient’s symptoms, as its primary objective around which a patient-centred, comprehensive and hands-on treatment is constructed.
Rooted in the principles of pioneers like Dr A.T. Still and Dr R. Virchow, The Reaset Approach has emerged through my journey of continuous exploration over more than 17 years and substantiated its effectiveness through scientifically informed reasoning, two studies and the feedback of patients and workshop participants.
In today's fast-changing world, the significance of this work is more significant than ever. There's increasing evidence highlighting the impact of psychosocial and adaptive stress-related alterations in the ANS on conditions such as MSDs, long-COVID, and various cognitive and mental health issues. Although The Reaset Approach is fundamentally a manual therapy method, the benefits experienced by patients extend beyond the physical realm, encompassing biopsychosocial and, for some, spiritual dimensions. This is evidenced by patients, who after a treatment with The reaset Approach, report not only relief from pain but also improvements in cognitive function, decision-making, stress management, time perception, and overall wellbeing.
The Reaset Approach has consistently demonstrated its effectiveness in addressing today's evolving healthcare needs that can be integrated seamlessly into a manual therapist's practice complementing their existing knowledge.
“Health is the dynamic balance of physical, mental, social, and existential wellbeing and the ability to adapt to changing conditions of life and the environment.”
Historically, traditional treatments focused on addressing MSD pain, symptoms, or related structural or functional issues, often overlooking the ANS due to a limited understanding of its role or because it wasn't considered the primary cause of health problems. Today, many manual therapists continue to apply these historical methods to MSDs arising from autonomic lesions, resulting in treatments that may be less effective or even counterproductive. Furthermore, medical prescriptions have traditionally taken a disease-specific approach, neglecting the potential for more holistic solutions.
Our society, along with our working and living conditions, has undergone significant changes and will continue to do so. Change inherently brings stress, leading to new health challenges and diverse pathways from aetiology to symptom manifestation. With The Reaset Approach, I want to initiate a revolution in the evolution of manual therapy by providing you and manual therapists around the world with a comprehensive understanding of the changes that are happening, its consequences and what to do about it.
Furthermore, The Reaset Approach is distinctive in its methodology because it is based on a single fundamental principle. This principle is applied throughout the entire treatment in a personalised and body-centred manner. It includes (1) lifting the autonomic lesion through balancing the extended autonomic system (2) before continuing to initiate the healing of primary and/or secondary dysfunctions and the removal of restrictions in the cranium, sacrum, fascia, viscera, and musculoskeletal systems (3) and addressing the treatment of the patient's symptoms. This comprehensive systemic approach is why The Reaset Approach is very effective.
During this course, participants will expand their way of thinking about health and healing, exploring new horizons to elevate themselves and their skills to the next level, resulting in improved patient outcomes. The material provided is immediately applicable in any clinical setting and can be adapted to the therapist's and patients' needs. Tom's teaching style adds value because once the participant understands the principle and learns how to apply it, they will be able to create their own treatment modalities.

Function Better. Heal Better. Feel Better.
Reaset Integrated Osteopathy is a body-mind and educational approach that enhances traditional biomechanical osteopathic treatment. By integrating The Reaset Approach (Developed by Tom Meyers D.O. MSc. Ost.), this method takes your osteopath and their skills into the 21st century, equipping them with a more effective way to address today’s complex health and wellbeing challenges.
While conventional osteopathy focuses on structural and functional imbalances in the musculoskeletal system, Reaset Integrated Osteopathy recognises that many dysfunctions today stem from stress-related autonomic imbalances (stress-related dysautonomia). These imbalances can contribute to acute and chronic pain, multimodal disorders, and unexplained symptoms that often appear suddenly, without an obvious physical cause.
By integrating The Reaset Approach as the first step in a treatment, your osteopath restores autonomic balance before addressing structural and functional overcompensations and dysfunctions. This ensures that the true cause of your pain or health problem is properly addressed, making the entire treatment more effective.
By prioritising autonomic, structural, and functional balance before symptom treatment, Reaset Integrated Osteopathy delivers faster, more sustainable results – helping you move, function, and feel better with greater ease.
Why is it Different & Better for Today’s Fast-Changing World?
In today’s high-stress, fast-paced world, many people suffer from chronic pain, fatigue, and postural issues that are not just physical but deeply connected to the nervous system’s ability to regulate tension and balance.
Traditional osteopathy addresses structural imbalances and mobility restrictions but does not always account for the autonomic imbalances that contribute to dysfunction. Reaset Integrated Osteopathy ensures that these autonomic imbalances are corrected first, allowing for:
More effective osteopathic corrections – the body is already in a state of balance before manual treatment.
