COURSE DESCRIPTIONS
Core Courses 1, 2, 3 & 4 (Core Clinical Integration)
+ Advanced Clinical Integration Courses 1,2,3
These courses will provide a framework for the assessment and treatment of the infant; newborn to 3 months and 3 months through the process of becoming increasingly more vertical to walking. The stabilization activity and dynamic movement patterns of the first 3 months are key to the baby attaining the best ideal movement moving forward through the stages of development from 3 months to walking.
The assessment will focus on movement fundamentals based in Development Kinesiology with a deepened knowledge of anatomy and function of the deep stabilizing system. The principles of midline, the fascial system and normalization of muscle, joint and fluid field will be explored with labs to orient the function of the newborn to optimal and comfortable stabilization patterns. All lab work will be oriented to the hands-on application of manual therapy skills with goal oriented decisions based in movement kinesiology for efficient treatment and successful outcomes.
These courses will provide a strong understanding of the organic, natural milestones of the baby necessary for assessment, treatment and re-evaluation.
These courses are focused on the assessment of non neurological patients and are designed for the paediatric practitioner who sees babies in clinic that may have a neck preference or torticollis, reflux, general discomfort, intolerance in tummy time, latching issues, poor quality in developmental milestones. The infant may have experienced a difficult birth.
These courses are also valuable for the practitioner with a primarily adult practice.
Increasingly, little ones are commonly brought into the clinic for manual therapeutic care and this course will up your game in the skills of assessing the baby, deciding on time-appropriate therapeutic intervention and giving movement based home advice for the parent.
All courses must be taken in order and are pre-requisites for each other.
Core Course 1
Course 1 has an emphasis on the deep stabilization system (diaphragm, intra-abdominal pressure, abdominal intrinsic core), and developmental stages of newborn to 3 months.
Further, we will study the neck, midline, common neck dysfunctions, deep stabilization of the deep neck flexors and the uprighting function in prone in the developmental stages of newborn to 3 months.
Core Course 2
Course 2 contains labs oriented to compliment the online Course 1. Course 2 has an emphasis on The shoulder, clavicle, acromio clavicular joint, umbilicus and the Thoracolumbar fascia with its intrinsic and extrinsic relationships.
Further, we will study 3-7 month milestones of grasping, uprighting and rolling. Clinical integration of hands-on treatment of infants.
Core Course 3
Course 3 has an emphasis on the pelvis, pelvic floor, infant handling to facilitate positioning, home education and 7- 10 month milestones of transition through quadruped, oblique sitting to sitting, crawling and pulling up. Clinical integration of hands-on treatment of infants.
Clinical Integration Courses
Core Course 4 and Advanced Courses
The clinical integration courses will provide plenty of hands-on experience with babies.
Core Course 4 - Core Clinical Integration
Core Course 4 - Core Clinical Integration is primarily an applied integration of all course work in Courses 1-3. New labs for treating some difficult and stubborn areas are introduced. An exploration to deepen the understanding of dysfunction limiting optimal expression in milestones. We will widen our skills of assessment and the application of manual therapy by addressing the dysfunctions identified.
This is an amazing opportunity to treat multiple infants with guidance and discussion while developing our manual skills.
Core Clinical Integration is open to all with the prerequisite of Course 3.
Advanced Clinical Integration Courses
Advanced Clinical Integration courses can be taken in any order
Prerequisite: Core Course 4 - Core Clinical Integration.
Advanced Clinical Integration 1
Core Connections: Scapula and Upper Extremity
Advanced Clinical Integration 1 dives into the relationships of the Scapula and Upper Extremity with the Core Stabilization system, in particular with the older baby as it matures through it's uprighting and grasping milestones of 3 months and beyond. This engaging and fun course explores the associated rib cage mechanics in mobility and stability in milestone development and advanced upper extremity assessment as pertinent to function. The course is rich in experiencing multiple live infant treatment sessions and is perfect for the manual practitioner ready to take their baby treatment skills to the next level!
Advanced Clinical Integration 2
Core Connections: Tongue, Jaw, Throat, Thorax
Advanced Clinical Integration 2 is a culmination of skills into a distinct understanding of the relationship of the palate to thorax and diaphragm region with oral function, sinuses and tongue movement. This course is a tipping point in infant care when working with the integrated whole in the function of latching, swallowing, breathing and creating the best dynamic for breast feeding. The results are stunning and immediate. This is an intense lab oriented course.
Advanced Clinical Integration 3
Core Connections: Vision, deep spheres of the oral cavity, upper neck, diaphragm, pelvis
This course is under construction and it is strongly suggested that Advanced Clinical Integration 2 be taken first.
Deepening in to the course material of Advanced Clinical Integration 2.

About Judy Green BScPT, DipScOst, D.O.M.P.
Over the past 20 years, Judy has been treating infants and young children as a particular passion. Judy previously worked as a physiotherapist, (retiring as a physiotherapist in 2014) specializing in neurology with NDT certification with clients with brain injury and traumatic pain and in her early career, worked as a senior physiotherapist in Intensive Care.
On completion of her osteopathic studies and presentation of her thesis in 2001, she pursued continuing education in the field and has studied under many Osteopathic teachers including being mentored by Dr. James Jealous since 1995; having completed all adult phases 1-9 and paediatric phases 1-3. She has taken many post graduate courses over the years at the CCO and CEO as well as courses in applied anatomy with Immaculate Dissection. Judy became the first certified Paediatric DNS Practitioner following written and practical examination Prague in 2015 and is currently the only certified Paediatric Vojta therapist (Applied Developmental Kinesiology for Babies) in North America, having completed the 8 week course in Siegen, Germany in 2017. Her studies in Germany allowed deep insight into the developmental kinesiology as related to the emergent stabilization and movement mechanisms of the first year of life. This knowledge has allowed Judy to develop an evaluation system which is relevant to the timely provision of osteopathic treatment; creating ease in knowing which interventions are essential to the underpinnings of infant developmental milestones. Judy developed the courses "Assessment and Treatment of the Young Baby" and provided the first courses in 2020. The courses have been very well received and over 200 manual practitioners have participated since inception. It is with pleasure that she offers these special courses to manual practitioners and continues to update and add clinical courses yearly.
