Connected Paediatrics Weekly: More than one way to skin a banana


Hi Reader

Dad Joke: Why did the banana go to the doctor? Because it wasn't peeling well!

Song of the Week: Venus - Bananarama

This weekend found me in Newcastle teaching the Management of the Neonate. Great people great vibe and…a multitude of approaches to treating. We had diversified, we had SOT, we had ABC you name it… it was there and everyone was willing to share.

One of the things I love about paed chiro's is that the egos truly are left at the door and we got to learn from each other.

So we did an experiment…

I was teaching the cranials section and so we thought it would be interesting to, instead of releasing the cranium directly, to release meningeal tension with other techniques and then reassess the cranial strain patterns.

And guess what…

The cranial strain patterns reduced from lateral flexion, to torsion and then back to unimpeded flexion and extension…without touching the skull!

This goes towards proving what I have long held true: there are many ways to approach the body to create balance. Some may resonate more with you than others but at the end of the day the more tools you have in your tool belt the more people you can help

Keep learning, keep improving. There are many ways to skin a banana!

Hi Reader Dad Joke: What do you call cheese that isn’t yours? Nacho cheese! Song of the Week: Hollow Coves - Coastline People do things they enjoy doing. People enjoy things they understand. People understand that they need to progress. Ask yourself this…How many people would do karate if there were no belts? How many people would play video games if they couldn’t reach new levels? And how many people carry on with chiropractic care without a plan which shows that they are levelling up?...

Hi Reader Dad Joke: How do brains say hello? With a brain wave! Song of the Week: Placebo - Every you every me I have spent the last 2 days getting the final touches on the update for my Cranial Kinetics for Kids seminar and I want to give you, dear reader, a little sneak peak of what I am teaching this coming weekend in Amsterdam. I wish I could take the credit for this little nugget, but it was shared with me by one of my many bosses (I have more bosses now than I ever have…figure that one...
