Two massive seminars in two days – attend one, or both!
Day 1 – Mastery of Infant Wellness – Saturday 16th May 2026
9am-5pm
My baby “is unsettled”, “has colic”, “has reflux”, “doesn’t like breastfeeding”, “is in pain”, “doesn’t like the car seat”, “needs to be held all the time”, “can’t sleep”, “is clingy”, “cries all the time”, “is driving me crazy”.
The unsettled baby is the most common presentation of an infant to Chiropractors. Drs Paul and Dr Adam have developed a simple and reproducible system you can you use to ensure you have all the management bases covered.
- Learn a simple diagnostic approach so you know nothing is being missed, is grounded in science, and you would feel comfortable talking to a doctor about.
- Learn how to manage each baby, using a protocol that will help all children, regardless of why they attended your practice, or the technique you use.
- Learn how to find common subluxation patterns for the unsettled baby, what will fit into your practice regardless of how you currently care for babies.
- Learn how to appropriately correct the most common subluxation patterns
- Get up to date with current safety literature, consent, and communication.
- Have your questions answered, so you can hit the ground running Monday morning.
You will leave the mastery of infant wellness seminar being able to:
- more confidently identify and manage many of the underlying causes of an unsettled baby
- understand some of the neuro-developmental consequences of an unsettled baby.
- understand the role of subluxation in the unsettled baby
- educate the family about the role and limitations of Chiropractic and other holistic management in a baby’s life.
- be up-to-date on the latest medical and complementary medical literature regarding reflux, colic, and the unsettled baby.
- more confidently assess the spine, cranial vault and extremities of an infant.
Day 2 – Infant Primitive Reflexes AND Infant muscle tone – Sunday 17th May 2026
9am-12.45pm
Neurological assessment of the infant is critical in your management of the infant. Two major categories of neurological examination of the infant are primitive reflexes and muscle tone. We provide clear, reproducible systems of analysis perfectly suited to busy family Chiropractors.
All delegates will be able to:
- Learn how to assess primitive reflexes in an infant.
- Learn how to interpret the primitive reflex findings
- Use these findings to reinforce your chiropractic message
- Learn the importance of muscle tone
- Learn how to assess muscle tone
- Learn when to refer for further assessment
- Learn relevant muscle tone management
You will leave the primitive reflexes and muscle tone seminar being able to:
- understand the importance of primitive reflexes in the developing infant.
- understand how to assess common primitive reflexes in the infant.
- understand how to interpret asymmetrical or delayed reflexes
- understand the importance of muscle tone in the developing infant.
- Understand how to assess muscle tone
- Be able to differentiate different type of muscle tone issues and know when to refer.
- Know how to manage common muscle tone scenarios in practice.
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.
