Core Course 1 - Online

Assessment and Treatment of the Young Baby

Move beyond simply observing milestones

Develop a clear and clinically useful understanding of infant core stabilization and movement - so you can assess and treat babies with greater confidence and begin to recognize important developmental movement patterns.

Begin immediately with access to the current course recordings. When the updated self-paced course is released, it will be included with your purchase at no additional cost.

Perhaps you are:

  • Unsure which early movement patterns are developmentally appropriate and which may signal dysfunction

  • Seeing infants with head-turning preferences, tummy-time difficulties, feeding concerns or general discomfort and feel you could offer more

  • Wanting a clearer, more systematic way to assess the infant and determine how treatment should begin

  • Confident in treating adults but less certain in assessing and treating infants

  • Looking for a more precise way to connect anatomy, core stabilization and milestone development

Core Course 1 Online

Understand the early foundations of infant posture, movement and core stability

Develop a clearer understanding of the deep stabilizing system and the developmental movement patterns that emerge from the newborn period through the first three months.

  • Understand the components and function of the deep stabilizing system

  • Recognize developmental stabilization patterns from birth to three months

  • Assess neck function, midline control and uprighting in prone

  • Connect your clinical observations with infant assessment and treatment decisions

Hey, I'm Judy!

I’m an Osteopathic Manual Practitioner with a background in physiotherapy and advanced paediatric certification. My clinical and teaching work focuses on helping manual practitioners understand how infants organize posture, movement, stability and core control.

I created Core Course 1 – Online to provide a clear developmental framework for recognizing early stabilization and movement patterns—and connecting what you observe to meaningful infant assessment and informed manual treatment.

Drawing on developmental kinesiology, functional anatomy and clinical reasoning, the course combines detailed instruction with self-exploratory labs that help bring these concepts into clinical practice.

Here's what you'll achieve:


Clinical Clarity

Recognize how early movement and stabilization patterns reflect the way an infant is organizing their body.


Greater Assessment Confidence

Approach infant assessment with a clearer, more systemic developmental framework.


More Informed Treatment

Connect assessment findings to treatment priorities that support stability and movement quality -promoting optimal function within emerging developmental milestones.

“Judy is incredibly knowledgeable regarding infant milestones and mechanics. Her ability to translate complex concepts into practical clinical application is outstanding. There are so many ‘golden nuggets’ in this course. I highly recommend it to any practitioner working with babies.”
