The Importance of Movement
– from infant to teen
New webinar series for 2023
This webinar will broadcast live Autumn 2023.
This webinar series will be presented by Miranda Clayton – Registered Osteopath and Janey Sattentau – Movement Teacher
There has been a radical shift in both posture and movement in babies and children over the past 35 years. An increasing evidence base indicates that these changing patterns have links to all kinds of general health and developmental disorders such as autism, attention deficit disorders, sensory processing disorders & dyspraxia, to name just a few.
This course examines innate and early life movement including how to evaluate, treat and give parental exercises to optimise early life development. Where movement milestones have been missed or poorly integrated, we demonstrate a range of exercise sessions suitable for the older child.
The focus of this webinar series is paediatric exercise and so this is the perfect course for practitioners who would like to incorporate exercise and movement therapy for children.
We have designed this Webinar Series for fully qualified Osteopaths, Craniosacral Therapists, Chiropractors, Physiotherapists, Etiopaths, Movement Trainers etc. .
We assume that practitioners will have some prior paediatric knowledge before taking part.

We have designed a really practical 6 part Webinar Series, Each Webinar is delivered as a one hour presentation followed by a 30 minute live discussion and question & answer session with Miranda Clayton and Janey Sattentau.
Following the Webinar you will be able to view both the presentation & the Q&A session on our video platform for a limited time period of 8 weeks.
We will also supply you with full notes on the presentation.
A 9 hour Certificate of Attendance will be available following the broadcast of the final webinar which you can use for your continuing professional development records.
We will be broadcasting one Webinar a week, for 6 weeks.
We understand that the world is a big place with different time zones. You do not have to watch these webinars live, as you will have 8 weeks to review the videos and subsequent discussions, following the webinar.
If you are joining the live broadcasts TIME ZONES are tricky! We are broadcasting from London in the UK. We have highlighted these London times in red on our charts above, and the equivalent times in various places around the world. To the best of our knowledge these global times are correct, but please check depending where you live.
We are using ZOOM as our Webinar interface. You can download ZOOM software for free.

The Level of these webinars is postgraduate. To get the most out of the presentations you will need:
- Be able to undertake a full health history of a child or young person.
- Understand your legal obligations when treating/teaching paediatric patients, including cautions & contra-indications.
- Understand the need for medical referrals where indicated.
- Be clear that you are working within the guidelines of your particular professional or registering organisation.
