This section contains all the resources, additional modules and assignments required for the certificate pathway.

This is the first module for the Paeds PG Cert.

This work will occupy the first month, together with the learning module.

It focuses on the intra-uterine period,

the foetal environment

maternofoetal sensory dynamics

intrauterine moulding


Covers in brief: birth dynamics

initial primitive reflexes

infant birth trauma

dynamic cranium

assessment of head

assessment of rest of infant


This is the third month and covers in brief:

maturity

autonomics

homeostasis

physiology

arousal and sleep

motor tone

communication and bonding


This is the start of our second semester, and we will be focusing on:

infant pain

unsettledness

infant suck and latch

breastfeeding issues

tongue tie

Infant ‘colic’

visceral dynamics


This is now midway in the course - and we are still on little babies!
Don't worry though, a lot of what is introduced now is directly relevant to older children and adolescents - so we are thinking ahead now too. This dynamics really helps us understand the issues move movement and development, which is of course the basis of the whole retained primitive reflex story for older children etc. 

This module focuses on:
Head shapes, 
moulded babies, 
Torticollis and hips
Development of structure, 
motor-sensory integration, 
general assessment of MSS

This is a complex, and quite large module.  It relates both to infants and toddlers but also, older children and adolescents.  It is one of the key modules (together with the maturity and stability module from the previous semester).   So, we will still be referring to it in the last semester, and it continues a story started in the first semester. 

This is a module that will require quite a lot of time from you, so please make sure you don't rush this one!

It will focus on:

Balance

Sensory integration,

primitive and postural reflexes

Learning and development,

language,

emotional,

social and communication issues


Now we are moving into the thirst and final semester of the programme.  We are also now focusing on older children, and how their ongoing development unfolds, and ca be challenged. 

It focuses on:

Body changes over time.

 The body cavities,

viscera,

puberty,

 body image,

mental health


This is the last module with 'new' information.  It brings us up to date with adolescents and older children, and considers issues for when they move forwards towards adulthood.   It will revisit a number of issues from past modules, to show the continuum of development, function, maturity, homeostasis and allostatic challenges. 

It will focus on:

EENT

Visceral dynamics

Sports

orthopaedics,

other broader issues.


This is our review module, and the focus is on you.

Do you need to revisit anything?

Have you outstanding questions?

Do you understand your tests / assessment requirements?

Have you done the revised learning needs analysis?


This course focuses on the body cavities, visceral function, focus on urogenital issues, structure, hormones, autonomics and immunity


This focuses on "girls and adolescents", puberty, visceral dynamics in non pregnant patients, interoception, visceral pain, gut brain, microbiome, and immune dynamics.


This courses focuses on the female body, body image, overview of dysfunction and disorders affecting the non pregnant person.


This focuses on early fertility and infertility / subfertility; early pregnancy loss, issues for the first trimester, and osteopathic awareness and constructs around this time.

This module focuses on urogynaecological and pelvic problems, that are complex in nature, and require focused and careful integrative analysis. 

It continues the dynamics for post partum care, but also recognises that many pathologies and their medical and surgical management leave consequences and problems for the women afterwards, and so this module also brings those scenarios into the mix.

Some of the dynamics here too, for pain management will also apply for cancer and breast care operations too, which are reviewed in the next module. 


This module focuses on menopause, the older woman and issues for cancer care, and breast care issues (which obviously don't always relate to post menopausal women).  Breastfeeding is covered in the previous semester. 

This course will focus on: Compartments and cavities, Coelum, serous fluids, embryology, Visceral dynamics, sliding surfaces' ligaments, pressures, and inter-relations


This course focuses on Innervation, autonomics, interoception, microbiome, gut-brain, heart-brain and endocrine immune dynamics.


Fluids

Visceral-vascular

venous

CSF / peritoneal / pericardial / peritoneal fluids

lymph

bones


This hosts all the meetings, their zoom links, recordings and places to pose questions,  This runs the length of the whole programme / pathway. 

This emodule is to do with general learning approaches and helps orient you to the types of assessments in this programme.

If you wish to go on to the Diploma pathway, you must complete all the elements in this Certificate programme first. 

It contains several compulsory elements, and is assessed.

You need to fill in your learning needs analysis, later a reflection of that towards the end of the programme, and complete a few other things which are described on the course page.

Here is an explanatory video and sneak peek to the content for the paeds series.

 

 

THIS COURSE GOES BEYOND THE FULL PAEDS SERIES. 

IF YOU DID THAT COURSE, WHICH INCLUDES SOME BREASTFEEDING AD INFANT FEEDING, BUT WANT MORE INFORMATION, THEN THIS IS THE COURSE. 

THIS COURSE IS DESIGNED TO EXTENSIVELY COVER MANY ISSUES IN MUCH GREATER DEPTHS FOR INFANT FEEDING, TONGUE TIE, ORAL FUNCTION, STOMATOGNATHIC SYSTEM AND SO ON, IT HAS MANY MANY HOURSE OF LECTURES, RESEARCH, EVIDENCE DISCUSSIONS, PHYSIOLOGY, NEUROSCIENCE AND CLINICAL INSIGHTS. 


This extended and updated course is aimed at osteopaths who have a strong interest in supporting the mother-infant dyad, and families and mums who are struggling with feeding their babies in some way, or with babies who are not establishing feeding.

Osteopaths have many special skills to apply in a clinical context, at this critical time - with babies often just days or weeks old.  

Understanding the development of the infant, the transition phase and perinatal dynamics, how primitive reflexes are related to feeding success and how the anatomy of the head, neck, face and body interact with the emergent physiology of suck-swallow-breathe is also essential. 

What is also important is to appreciate how birth, tissue irritation, strain, injury to both MUM and BABY can impact on feeding success by causing sensory motor challenges, stress within the arousal and state regulation mechanisms within the infant, and movement and motor challenges within the infant as this then helps osteopaths and similar hands-on practitioners determine a treatment plan or a referral pathway.

Mum also needs particular support, and issues for her involve recovery from birth, bonding and mental health issues, breast-care and milk supply and general restoration of body posture and global cavity restoration. 

This course leads into a particular consideration of risks ethics, roles boundaries, consenting and evidence all of which need to be carefully considered when working with this special group of people.

Assessment techniques and approaches for hands on care are discussed.  Please note that technical competence cannot be gained from an online programme and so this course cannot credential you for competence on its own.

If you wish to take your training further after completing this course, please contact the College of Non Musculoskeletal Osteopathy (www.cnmo.co.uk) where programmes that lead to a Certificate and can include practical sessions and clinical observation and practice are available in the near future.
