Shout out to our director Alana who organised the Osteopaths New Zealand 3 day conference in Auckland last weekend. What an amazingly well planned and implemented symposium. Thank you for your selfless contribution to the Osteopathic profession Alana. !

Last weekend, I had the pleasure of working alongside a group of wonderful practitioners as a technique tutor on Julie Fendall’s Exploration of the Respiratory and Digestive Systems in Paediatric Osteopathic Practice.

Earlier this year, I also tutored on Julie’s course, An Osteopathic Approach to Common Musculoskeletal and Orthopaedic Conditions of Early Childhood, and in May, I attended nutrition training focused on paediatrics and special needs (MINDD) in Sydney.

The more experience I gain, the more inspired I am to keep learning—and to share that knowledge with the next generation of osteopaths. Of course, many of the principles we explore in paediatric osteopathy are just as relevant and beneficial when applied to adult care as well.
