Speakers & Sessions

Dr Mike Marinus

Session Title: Adjusting Paediatric Movement

Session Outline:

From the earliest fetal movements to the achievement of independent upright walking, each milestone in a child’s development builds upon the next. During this presentation, we will explore the normal progression of human movement, starting from the fundamental supine and prone positions to the more complex postures and transitional movements of childhood. This includes rolling, sitting, crawling, cruising, and ultimately walking unaided.

Throughout the weekend, you will gain invaluable insights into what constitutes normal development, how to recognise signs of a child facing challenges, and most importantly, how to provide assistance and corrections at each stage to ensure the best possible outcomes.

Biography:

Dr Mike Marinus currently serves as the Chairman of the Royal College of Chiropractors Pregnancy and Chiropractic Faculty, and he’s a valuable member of Logan University’s teaching staff for the Master’s in Integrative Paediatrics degree. Additionally, Mike hosts podcasts for both parents and professionals and is the founder of the Paediatric Network, an online teaching platform for all professionals working with children.
