CERTIFICATE SUMMARY:

  • ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY
  • AUTONOMICS, NEUROENDOCRINE, HPA, IMMMUNE AND SOMATOVISCERAL INTEGRATION
  • MICROBIOME AND IMMUNE CONSIDERATIONS IN CHILD DEVELOPMENT
  • INTRA-UTERINE ISSUES
  • BIRTH, BONDING, BREASTFEEDING, ORAL FUNCTION, DIGESTION AND BREATHING, unsettledness and general health
  • DEVELOPMENT OF POSTURE, MOVEMENT, COORDINATION AND BALANCE, REFLEXES

  • CHANGING SHAPE AND TORSION IN MUSCULOSKELETAL FACTORS AND INTRAOSSEOUS STRAIN
  • ONLINE PLATFORM AND TUTORIAL SUPPORT

KEY SKILLS AND PRACTICE APPROACHES COVERED:

  • CLINICAL ASSESSMENT REVIEW = CONSIDERING ALL THE FACTORS WITHIN THE CERTIFICATE CURRICULUM AND TAKING THEM TO THE NEXT LEVEL:
  • MANAGEMENT OF VARIOUS CONDITIONS EG feeding and latch dynamics, plagio and movement disorders, unsettledness, coordination, EENT function, bladder and bowel dynamics, orthopaedic, neurodiversity and body image dynamics. NB, these are all introduced at Certificate level, but are now reviewed much more critically.
  • CLINICAL PROTOCOLS – WHAT THEY ARE AND ARE NOT
  • OUTCOMES ASSESSMENT
  • UNDERSTANDING ORTHODOX MANAGEMENT AND INTERDISCIPLINARY ISSUES, imaging, diagnostic criteria, screening
  • PRACTICAL TECHNIQUE INTENSIVE CLASSES
  • TUTORIAL SUPPORT
  • EXTENSIVE EVIDENCE REVIEW AND CASE ANALYSIS
  • HELPING YOU WORKSHOP COMPLEX PRESENSTATIONS
  • DEVELOPING YOUR PERSONAL CLINCAL PROFESSIONAL FIELD OF CARE
  • ONLINE PLATFORM AND TUTORIAL SUPPORT (PLUS ABOVE PRACTICAL SESSIONS)
  • CLINICAL OBSERVATIONS
