Calendar Update - Book your next seminar with Mike Marinus


Hi Reader

Jaw and airway development happens faster than parents realize. The way we breathe, feed, chew and move right now has a huge impact on jaw, palate and airway development later. This is your chance to join me for Cranial Kinetics seminar this October where you'll learn exactly what to do for these cases.

We then have the Paeds in Motion 1 & 2 seminars which will add fresh perspectives and skills. (We're talking delayed rolling, sitting, cruising, crawling, hypermobility, scoliosis, core strength, injuries, mouth breathing, movement patterns to name a few!)

What are people saying about learning with Mike:

"I'm seeing more babies in clinic but wanted to know how I progress from babies to toddlers to tweens. I found it most valuable how the concepts were linked together and having a sequence of exam to include is awesome, especially loved the red noses and pGals " (I.T.) Paeds in Motion 2

"I took this course to broaden my knowledge working with children. I have worked with babies but not much with toddlers and older children. Overall I loved the seminar but going throught all the examinations and primitive reflexes was the highlight" (Anon) Paeds in Motion 2

"I found it very valuable that I can use these techniques on adults too" (S.B.) Cranial Kinetics

"I love Mike's teaching style and the subject, great photo's and models, hands on practice, I loved the examples and going through cases" (C.Z) Cranial Kinetics

"The notes are excellent and the video's make everything clear. The mix of lecture/practical was good. Mike has a way of keeping my attention & focus. I like his way of teaching. (L.C.) Paeds in Motion 2

"A great seminar with techniques and tips to help me with everyday 'problems' which come into the practice - I'll be using a lot of what I learnt on Monday. (N.R.) Paeds in Motion 1

Your messaging on this has to be 100% crystal clear. How do I know this? Because I have fumbled it plenty. And I know what it feels like to sit there with a mouth full of...

Hi Reader Dad Joke: What do you call cheese that isn’t yours? Nacho cheese Picture this… You ask a mum who is new to your clinic whether her baby can roll. She says “yes” and proceeds to show you. She lies him on his back, grips one arm and pulls it gently across. A leg follows, there’s a little bit of rotation through the pelvis and…there we go! The baby has rolled. Except he hasn’t really, has he?...She rolled him. And he is now lying there looking at up you both as if to say “well that was...
