The journey from conception to birth holds many challenges for the mother and her developing child.
In this weekend, aided by our guest speaker, we explore this extraordinary journey by encompassing the perspectives of both mother and infant from an osteopathic viewpoint.
This fascinating program will help to enhance your knowledge of the changes that occur during pregnancy and birth, and some of the issues which might arise.
Consequences to both mother and child are considered, and how as osteopaths we can offer appropriate and effective support to our pre and post-natal patients and their infants.
Experienced tutors in 1:4 tutor groups are on hand to guide and inspire.
SCCO Course Providers: All SCCO courses are run by a resident Course Director, who is an Osteopath and a member of the SCCO Faculty. Pathway courses are delivered by SCCO Faculty and may be supported by guest speakers. Short courses are usually delivered by a visiting guest lecturer. SCCO Faculty members all hold recognised osteopathic qualifications but may not be GOSC registered osteopaths.

During her time as a midwife, she had in intense interest in acupuncture and homoeopathy.
To study osteopath was her step to offer holistic care to women around their pregnancies and deliveries.

She acquired a Master in Paediatric osteopathy with the University of Bedfordshire in collaboration with the Osteopathic Centre for Children, the Diploma in Women’s Health in Osteopathy with the Molinari Institute of Health and a Postgraduate Certificate in Academic and Clinical Education.
“Claudia Knox gave me the lecture I had always wanted and hoped for on pregnancy. Her outstanding knowledge on the mechanical arrangements of the different organs, the lifestyle pregnant ladies lead and the physiological adaptation in a woman’s life were incredibly valuable insights. Claudia’s delivery was impeccable and I feel I got a much clearer idea on how to assist pregnant ladies. I think what was particularly valuable about this lecturer was her experience as a midwife of witnessing so many deliveries and being able to combine this with her osteopathic knowledge and skills.”
“Excellent weekend which surpassed my expectations.”
“Meeting everyone on the course and great tutors Safeguarding children was an eye opener. Thank you for including this. Fantastic having the perspective of a midwife/osteopath.”
