The NEW standard of Paediatric Rehabilitation

  • A 10 week professional development course for allied health practitioners that delves into the different pillars of physical rehabilitation and childhood development, with practical application for clinical exercise intervention.

Do you…

You start your session, and it feels just like last week—and the week before that. Same activities, same routine. You wonder… am I actually helping, or just going through the motions?

You have a go-to set of exercises, but deep down, you know they’re too cookie-cutter. 90% of your caseload gets the same plan, even though their needs are different.

A parent walks in and says they want their child to be more social, to engage in the community. You nod, but inside, you’re unsure—how does exercise actually connect to that goal?

You recommend ongoing therapy, but if someone asked why, would you have a clear clinical reason?

Assessments feel tricky. You either skip them because turning observations into numbers is overwhelming, or you complete them—then never look at the data again.

When a child struggles with crawling, walking, or jumping, you hesitate. What are the foundational movement pieces they need? Are you missing something?

And when your plan isn’t working? You feel stuck, unsure what to try next.

Your sessions focus on exercise, but what about everything else? Are you considering all the pillars of development—or just one piece of the puzzle?

Testimonials

  • The course was excellent quality. Lauren is great at talking things out in a way that’s easy to understand. It’s really helped to fill in gaps in my knowledge and understanding. It’s the best course I’ve come across for Exercise Physiologists in the paediatric space. Couldn’t recommend it more.

    Livia Minikin

  • The quality of the course has been excellent, with lots of examples of play based activities. It certainly has opened my eyes of how much depth is involved in the paeds case load. Thank you so much for running this course I have really enjoyed it and found it to be one of the most helpful PD courses I have completed.

    Amy Clapp

  • I love the course, The example exercises given in the contexts given have been great.

    Rhiannon Walton

  • Lauren's help throughout the course has been invaluable. Its a great opportunity to learn, develop and refine your skillset in the paediatric space

    Emma Belton

  • Lauren is obviously very knowledgeable around paediatric EP and it shows within the lecture material as well as her discussions during presentation. I have learnt a lot about what kind of scope EP can address in Paediatrics

    Mikayla Harris

  • There is no other EP specific paediatric course like this that I have found, other courses I have done are great at explaining the ‘what’ however this course explains the ‘why.’ With the knowledge of why certain interventions are effective we are much better able to adapt the knowledge to the individual to improve outcomes. 1000% do it! You will learn so much from this course that will positively impact how you deliver your exercise intervention. It is very easy to work through and even though there is a lot of information it is easy to understand and apply to your caseload straight away.

  • The Q& A was really fun!! I loved the breakout rooms and the chance to chat to other clinicians one on one
