Biobasics Spain 2026
February 6–7, 2026 | Barcelona, Spain
On February 6 and 7, 2026, Bill Foley, D.O. was invited to participate in Biobasics Spain in Barcelona under the direction of Raul Castillo Acosta and the leadership of Maria Parareda, Jordi Cid, and Christian Sullivan. This annual postgraduate gathering offers osteopaths an opportunity to deepen their understanding of the work of A.T. Still, founder of Osteopathy, W.G. Sutherland, and James Jealous. Dr. Foley lectured on the Fluid Body and served as a table trainer alongside an ensemble of highly skilled European osteopaths, contributing to a collaborative and vibrant field of study.
Biodynamic Osteopathy has grown internationally since the 1980s, with formal biodynamic curricula and Biobasics courses now established in countries including the United States, France, Spain, and the Netherlands. The Barcelona program reflects this international development, maintaining a two-student-per-tutor ratio. Each tutor is a fully qualified and registered osteopath who has completed the seven phases of biodynamic training, ensuring depth, clarity, and continuity within the teaching.
Although this weekend is not one of the formal biodynamic phases, it serves as an introduction to Traditional Osteopathy emerging from the biodynamic curriculum of Dr. James Jealous. Rooted in shared ideals and mutual support, the course brings together osteopaths committed to refining perception, strengthening community, and further developing osteopathy in alignment with its original principles and living tradition.
