Description:

Foundations Course Focus:

This highly practical, clinically driven course is consistently sold out in Ontario every time it is run by Sandhya Jain who is dual liscenced as a Physical Therapist and Osteopathic Manual Practitioner. It goes beyond theory to give you applicable pediatric manual therapy skills. You will learn how to confidently assess and treat infants and children using a framework grounded in developmental anatomy, physiology, and the relationship between structure and function.

Participants will gain a deeper understanding of how developmental patterns influence the autonomic nervous system and impact digestion, neurological regulation, and gross motor development. Through live demonstrations and guided practice, you will develop techniques you can apply in your clinical practice with greater precision, confidence, and clinical reasoning. This includes different handling skills that promote good neuro physiological function.

Course Audience: Osteopathic Manual Practitioners, Physiotherapists & other rehabilitation specialists

Prerequisite: Practicing, graduated Health Care Practitioner licensed & insured, in good professional standing

Equipment: Please bring a doll that can help you practice handling techniques and a cranium if you have one available

A hands-on pediatric course designed to immediately elevate your clinical practice.

If enrollment is low, we will be teaching the course at Atlantic Coast Osteopathy.
