Objectives of this workshop:

• Understand the evolution of children and adolescents today
• How to make an osteopathic differential diagnosis in order not to cause harm
• Know the anatomy, embryology, physiology from childhood to puberty
• Effective global treatment by systems in a bio psycho emotional and social approach
• Know how to communicate at the initiatory period that is puberty
• Support the health of adolescents in the current paradigm shift in society

Interest of osteopathy in paediatrics:

• Brief reminder of the osteopathic approach to pregnancy and children
• Sensory approach before birth
• Embryological forces, keys to knowledge
• Contribution of neuroscience
• The development of the 6-year-old child
• Early puberty; its evolution
• Systemic approach at adolescence
• Reflective approach to treatments: putting words to perceptions
• Sharing experiences

Program:

• History of osteopathy in paediatrics
• Reminder of osteopathic principles adapted to children according to their anatomical and physiological maturity
• Early sensory information and the evolution of perceptions
• New conditions of birth in Europe: parental stress, very premature babies, inductions, epidurals, instrumentalization of birth
• Osteopathic diagnosis of the craniosacral and postural system, key to psychomotor development
• Pre-eminence of the digestive system over the optimal development of the respiratory system; role of enterocytes and nutrition
• Incidence of cranial compressions and birth trauma on the central nervous system
• Links between the sternum, plexuses and teeth during growth; early orthodontics
• Pre-eminence of the hormonal and endocrine system
• Importance of paediatric emotional memories throughout life
• Applications to the main reasons for behavioural problems in adolescence: intense stress, chronic fatigue, sleep, attention and concentration

Techniques offered:

• Mainly practical training
• Self-centering: Rooting and opening
• Subjective perceptions and feelings
• Midline, symmetry
• 4 diaphragms…or 7 diaphragms?
• From the ectoderm: practices on the central nervous system: brain stem and cerebral hemispheres; role of the skin
• From the endoderm: practices on the thoracic cylinders, pleura, digestive system and mesentery
• Mesoderm: practices on the three central muscle chains and datation
• Fertility of the cranial concept today
• Birth process and emotional impact
• The vibratory fulcrum and the whole-body scanner
• The heart as a central fulcrum and circulatory system as key to health
• Body inscription in epigenetics and psychogenealogy

At the end of this training, you will be able to: ·

• Conduct a complete osteopathic examination
• Take charge of a child, an adolescent as a first-line treatment
• Follow osteopathic principles based on your own experience
• Join the care teams
• Participate in the essential work of prevention in terms of Public Health
