• FROM THE PAEDS PROGRAMME YOU GET:
• fantastic and extensive library of video resources
• loads of evidence based clinical insights and osteopathic approaches
• lots of techniques and direct hands on guidance
• attendance at the Bristol teaching clinic – see patient interactions, learn assessments approaches, observe / participate in treatments
• lots of technique insights, all common presentations covered
• red-flags, consenting, communication and general clinical guidance and referral considerations included
• not dedicated to ‘cranial / IVM’ – uses general, gentle osteopathy – suitable for all practitioners, regardless of experience.
• you can do this course and then be able to being your paediatric practice in your own clinic. No prior experience required.
• THIS COURSE IS VERY EXTENSIVE, TAKES A LOT OF EFFORT, BUT IS TOTALLY WORK THE INVESTMENT OF TIME, ENERGY AND FOCUS – this is equivalent to 2 years packed into one!
• you retain long term access to the learning resources

Certificate – all modes of delivery cover the same material:

This is year one of the programme – and you can exit at the end of year one, to consolidate your practice before progressing to year two if you wish. After year two (a more in-depth walk through of paediatrics across the lifespan, evidence frameworks and research dynamics) you will be awarded the DIPLOMA.

This is a wide ranging and highly detailed programme covering a range of the most common paediatric conditions presenting to osteopaths and comparable manual therapists, as well as covering pathology, risk factors, communication, red flags, developmental dynamics and much more.

The developmental, learning and growth challenges for children can be considerable and whilst many infants, toddlers and older children sail wonderfully through their early years, for many, it can be a distressing, awkward or traumatising period.  No one wishes to see children suffer unnecessarily, and many issues arise through poor coordination, weaker muscles, poor posture, illness and injury.  A gentle hands on approach can be key to helping children navigate childhood with the fewest negative effects possible!

This is very extensive, evidence backed programme, which aims to take you from where you are to a deeper level. Helping to rationalise your clinical approaches, to explore the neuroscience, physiology, anatomical dynamics and function of paediatrics, development, growth and social engagement are key components of this course. You don’t need to know any ‘cranial’ / involuntary mechanism work to engage with paediatrics – although if you do there is still plenty in this course which will inform your personal technique style. But, the course is designed to develop clinical protocols from first principles – and then to determine how children can be helped. All elements of common presentations across paediatrics from infants to adolescents, and this programme covers core elements of this things you will need to explore this field of care in more depth and with greater clarity.

WHOMBS:

After either the certificate or the Diploma you can join whombs.com, which is a practitioners support group and a public information website / service (which is being built up gradually), to support you and the public to know more about osteopathy and women’s health, and care of infants and children.

Whombs is open only to registered osteopaths (in your country of practice).
