Module 9 - Paediatrics.

10/3/2017

0 Comments

 
I have just completed module 9 of the SCCO's pathway. This one is all about Paediatrics and treating children, with a big emphasis on the 1st year of life . It was a very intense 4 day course looking at gently assessing and treating babies. We considered how the body of both mother and baby can be affected by the birth process from uncomplicated births to births needing intervention such as ventouse, forceps and C-section. The anatomy of the child is vastly different to that of the adult and that is especially evident in the cranium. The bones are not as fused as they are in the adult and a lot of the are in multiple parts that fuse together as the child grows. understanding this anatomy and function allows us to treat and care for children more effectively. This then gives a good start in the journey to adulthood.

We also looked at how strains throughout the whole body can affect and cause common problems seen in babies. When we understand these processes, we as osteopaths can then more effectively treat and help any problems that they may be suffering from.
