Osteopathic Paediatrics Module 1:

Developmental, Biodynamic Embryological Movements and how they relate to Osteopathic practice: An introduction to the embryology, anatomy/physiology of the Primary Respiratory Mechanism (PRM) as postulated by Dr WG Sutherland.

We are excited to announce our upcoming Module 1 Osteopathic Paediatrics Course, a comprehensive 3.5-day program designed to delve into the intricacies of Osteopathy in the Cranial Field, with a special focus on paediatrics.

Course Overview:

In brief, this Module will cover the following concepts:

• Biodynamic Embryologic Formative and Developmental Movements and how they relate to Osteopathic assessment and treatment rationale; this will explore the development of the embryo with particular emphasis on how the central nervous and cardiovascular systems of the embryo form and the link between the central nervous system, the heart, diaphragm and liver form – “The first 8 weeks of embryological development are the most important to understand! Every organ has formed by then!”

• The anatomy, physiology and embryology of the development of the Primary Respiratory Mechanism in detail, with special emphasis on the cranial base and vault - the face will be included, but it will be covered in more detail in Module 2

Course Outcomes:

This course equips participants with the foundational knowledge and clinical skills necessary to apply Osteopathy in the Cranial Field, specifically in paediatric settings. Participants will gain proficiency in palpation techniques, diagnostic assessments, and treatment strategies essential for effective paediatric osteopathic care.

This is a compulsory module to continue with our sequence and exemption to this course will only be given to those who have already attended and successfully completed a 40-day Fundamentals course in "Osteopathy in the Cranial Field” by an approved teaching body, such as the SCTF of ANZ, SCTF (USA), Cranial Academy (US), Sutherland Cranial College (UK), or similar. However, we strongly recommend that you do this course even if you have done a Fundamentals course previously, as it covers information not included in these fundamental courses.

We invite registration from all osteopaths and fourth-year osteopathic students who are passionate about expanding their expertise in cranial osteopathy and paediatrics. Please click below for further information or to register, but if you still have more questions, please don’t hesitate to respond to this email. Looking forward to embarking on this educational journey together!
