Paediatric Level Four (by invitation only)
Advanced
The material covered in this module is relevant to patients of all age groups, but the course focus is on children.
Level four looks in depth at the central nervous system and the deeper systems of the body and brain. We consider the techniques and treatments that can help in the more difficult and challenging cases that we encounter in general practice.
Level four covers the osteopathic view of neuroanatomy and academics will look in depth at:
- The cerebral cortex
- The basal ganglia
- The limbic system
- The corticospinal tracts
- The cerebellum
- An osteopathic view of the nature of bone
The course will cover the advanced treatment of:
- CNS lesions such as cerebral palsy
- Aspergers syndrome and autistic spectrum behaviour in children
- Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder
- Dyslexia
- Sleep and sleep disturbances
- Genetic disorders such as Down's Syndrome
- Orthopaedic problems
This advanced level is suitable for students who have completed Paediatrics level 1, 2 or 3 or are who have been practicing cranial techniques or biodynamic techniques for 3 years or more.
