Breastfeeding is a beautiful and natural process, but it is not always without challenges. From latch and suckling difficulties, to milk supply and nipple pain, many parents encounter obstacles along their breastfeeding journey that can lead to frustration and even premature weaning.
Understanding these issues and how they relate to biomechanics, the MSK system, hormones, posture, and other factors is key to supporting your patients.
With the appropriate assessment and treatment techniques for baby’s skull, cervical spine, shoulder dystocia, breathing dynamics, pelvic mechanics and more you’ll be able to help them to embrace the joy of successful breastfeeding.
This in-depth course from highly respected Italian Paediatric Osteopath Luisa Miraglia combines the anatomy and physiology of lactation with case-studies and gentle-but-effective osteopathic assessment and treatment techniques. Breastfeeding Support will deliver you the knowledge and skills to support your patients and improve the health and well-being of both parent and baby.
Techniques will be demonstrated and practiced via a combination of detailed pre-recorded videos, on fellow attendees and a planned infant clinic to end the day. The clinic is dependent on suitable parents volunteering. We will do our best facilitate this aspect of the course but for obvious reasons it cannot be guaranteed.
