England - Jones Institute International has been planting Counterstrain seeds for the past four years and it is starting to grow.  This year Randy is returning to the London College of Osteopathic Medicine with the SCS II Course.  This is our fourth year in a row that we have taught in England.
France - In March, Randy taught our first SCS I Course just outside of Paris.  The class had over 22 osteopaths participating and their level of excitement and anticipation for the course made it very fun.  The syllabus has been translated into French and Randy worked with interpreters for the first time.  He is trying to learn some French with a Rosetta-Stone program but the French accent does not easily roll off his Asian tongue.  He is scheduled to teach two additional full classes of osteopaths again in June and September this year and, we are already making plans to return in 2009.  Chapter 13, our recommended pre-course reading is also being translated into French.
     Randy has also been working with a wonderfully knowledgeable Italian Osteopath, Erik Gandino who will lab assist at each course in France.  He will probably take the certification test this year and desires to become a Jones Institute Instructor in Europe!  The Jones Institute is still passionate about teaching Strain and Counterstrain throughout the world.



      - 2007 In September, Randy taught a group of Osteopaths at the London College of Osteopathic
                       Medicine.  It was an exciting time with Strain Counterstrain in the United Kingdom!

      - 2006
In February, Randy went to the United Kingdom and taught three more Strain
                       Counterstrain courses. - It was fantastic!
