Description
London School of Osteopathy, 12 Grange Road, London SE1 3BE
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, myopia, and obesity 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. We also show some exercises for older children who may have missed movement milestones.
In this second webinar we consider the upper body and early movement patterns which will enable rolling and sitting. We then continue a deep dive into torticollis, head turn preference, plagiocephaly, orbits and gaze, the vestibular system and the causes & treatment of spinal arching.
