This half-day CPD session will explore how the autonomic and immune systems are formed, how they develop over time, and how they interact with one another. We will review key developmental windows and the effects of external and intrinsic influences on early childhood health. Practical components will focus on applied approaches, exploring how we can actively support balance within these systems and promote health in young children.
Our mentoring programme provides qualified osteopaths with an experiential introduction to the clinical reality of paediatric practice. The programme is based in our open-plan teaching clinic, where you will have the opportunity to observe trainee paediatric osteopaths and our experienced teaching faculty working collaboratively to provide care to a diverse group of patients.
This half day workshop will explore the relationship between our autonomic responses and how we feel. The Poly-vagal theory will be used as a model to help us relate to the dominant autonomic responses in our patients. The concept of emotions mediated by peptides will be introduced. Time will be split between theory and practical work with an emphasis on clinical applications.
The course will cover primitive reflex assessment from birth to adolescence, as well as basic sensory and reflex integration exercises appropriate for a range of ages and developmental levels. Additionally, content will be presented in light of current research findings. By the end of this course, you will be able to identify a range of primitive reflexes across paediatric age groups and have tools to assist in reflex integration, with the aim of being able to immediately apply these techniques in clinical practice.
Children are facing increasing health challenges and becoming increasingly unwell. Most modern lifestyles have led to dramatic changes to the structure of cranial and facial bones. This CPD session will focus on the importance of Early Diagnosis and an Interdisciplinary Approach to Treatment in order to achieve optimal child health. Osteopaths, Ear, Nose and Throat specialists (ENTs), Oral Myofunctional Therapists (OMTs), and Dentists all play a role in this proactive, collaborative approach to improve care, health, and children’s wellbeing.
We will explore and examine the various methods to improve concentration, centering, grounding, and the ability to interact in a crystal-clear manner with both our patients and ourselves. Our approach will incorporate insights, information, and methods from other disciplines, along with the wisdom and testimony of some old, esteemed and celebrated osteopaths who continue to guide us with their experience. We will tailor what we learn to the unique challenges faced by each participant, providing practical and useful solutions to create an even healthier and more nourishing working environment for all. It is now evident that the profession of osteopathy does not exist in isolation — the osteopath as an individual is central. It is therefore essential to recognise how the life we lead affects both our health and the well-being of our patients. The course aims to include both indoor and outdoor practices.
Elevate your clinical and training practice with a deeper, evidence-based understanding of **functional exercise prescription**, taught by one of the field’s most respected thinkers.
This webinar will provide participants with an Evidence Based Approach to the evaluation and treatment of headache patients. It will include a comprehensive presentation on the most updated findings related to sensory and motor impairments of the cervical spine and TMJ and how they are clinically relevant for head pain.
Current evidence has shown the role of musculoskeletal impairments in the neck and TMJ which has set the stage for a multisystem approach of evaluation, treatment and management of headache patients.
From functional fatigue to debilitating clinical and chronic fatigue, this session unpacks the complex phenomenon of fatigue and offers insights into its underlying causes.
The mechanisms and meaning of muscle and central nervous system fatigue will be described and nutritional strategies to optimise physical and brain performance explored.
A special section will examine the latest understandings of chronic fatigue syndromes.
