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), referred to by Tom as the 'autonomic lesion,' are 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.

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, which underlies stress-related dysautonomia and subsequently leads to the patient’s symptoms, as its DNA 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 a journey of continuous exploration over more than 17 years and substantiated its effectiveness through two studies and the feedback of patients and workshop participants. In today's rapidly evolving world, the significance of this work is more pronounced 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 often report not only relief from pain but also improvements in cognitive function, decision-making, stress management, time perception, and overall wellbeing.
The Reaset Approach is, therefore, a comprehensive "health" restoring method aligned with the changing needs of today. An approach that has proven it can be seamlessly integrated into a manual therapist's practice in a fast and effective manner, while also complementing the therapist's 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 autonomic nervous system (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, Tom initiates a revolution in the evolution of manual therapy by providing manual therapists 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, you will expand you 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 your and patients' needs. Tom's teaching style adds value because once the you understand the principle and learn how to apply it, you will be able to create their own treatment modalities.

Although The Reaset Approach is based on the principles of osteopathy, and its gestures do look and relate to craniosacral or fascia therapy, the distinction lies in what is done or, more importantly, what is not done with the hands. Its unique intention on reasetting the ANS sets it apart, making it a distinctive concept with its own therapeutic methodology and treatment modality.

ABOUT THE FOUNDER
Tom Meyers (1970) is more than just a Belgian osteopath D.O. MSc. Ost. and body-centred stress coach who runs a private practice in Brussels - he's a visionary on a mission to help people flourish in the flow of evolution and thrive in this fast-changing, uncertain, and challenging world. Tom’s fascinating life on the road less travelled has given him a wealth of experience that has lead him to be a thought provoking wellbeing futurist, speaker, and author of a.o. "Futurize Yourself – Design Your Life on Purpose" and "The Futures Effect – Change Your Story, Change Y’our Future!”. Furthermore Tom is also the founder and instructor of The Reaset Approach - that is initiating a revolution in the evolution of manual therapy. But beyond his impressive credentials and accomplishments, Tom's greatest strength lies in his ability to connect with people and inspire them to discover their own unique abilities and sense of purpose.
