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

Hi Reader Dad Joke: How do you make an octopus laugh? With ten-tickles! A mum said something to me recently that I suspect every paediatric practitioner has heard hundreds of times. “He’s fine though, isn’t he?” Her three-month-old was lying happily on my beanbag baby chair, smiling up at us. He was feeding well, gaining weight, sleeping reasonably, interacting beautifully and there was nothing particularly worrying in his history. If you bumped into this family in shops you wouldn’t be...

University hats going up with a motivational message

Hi Reader Dad Joke: Why did the scarecrow win an award at university? Because he was out-standing in his field. Today was a big day for our family. We’ve just arrived home from dropping my daughter off at University for the first time, still can’t quite believe we’re here already. The build-up has been intense. It’s been a good few weeks of thinking back, dusting off the memories and wanting each moment to last just that little bit longer. As part of the last week, I have been checking and...

Hi Reader Paeds in Motion 2: Toddlers to Teens is happening on 13 & 14 March 2027 - in Johannesburg! This is exactly the kind of thinking we’ll unpack in March. If paediatric practice is an area you want to become genuinely good at, this is an important part of your journey. Many chiropractors feel confident working with infants but when a 6 year old with posture issues or a 14 year old athlete walks through the door, uncertainty creeps in. Our Paeds in Motion 2 seminar gives you the clinical...
