Description
London School of Osteopathy,12 Grange Road, London SE1 3BE, UK
There has been a radical shift in both posture and movement in babies and children over the past 35 years. An increasing evidence base indicates that these changing patterns have links to all kinds of developmental disorders such as autism, attention deficit disorders (ADD), sensory processing disorders & dyspraxia, to name just a few.
This course examines innate and early life movement including how to evaluate, treat and give parental exercises to optimise early life development and treat specific common conditions.
