What people think
I have been to nearly 20 paediatric seminars. This was the most practice-usable, highly applicable, in depth seminar for babies.
In the current political environment if a chiropractor wants to be seeing children, they must be up-skilled to perform high standard history, examination and management. This seminar will be a great help for chiropractors to achieve this. And I loved the ISSNUT tool for assessing the unsettled baby.
Great package in terms of the content and how the content is put together. Great tool to make me less ‘subluxation-focussed’ and more ‘global-vitalist if focussed.
If you work with children, this seminar is a fantastic evidence-informed review of how to holistically manage children appropriately and comprehensively.
Fantastic educational seminar with very knowledgable educators (Chiropractors). A must for Chiropractors who see or are interested in seeing more Paeds within their clinic. Great resource materials provided, too.
Absolutely awesome. Very thorough approach that can give any chiropractor (from new grad to experienced chiropractor) confidence to assess and care for unsettled babies.
