The Paediatric Practitioner In-Person Workshops
Confidently assess, program and deliver paediatric sessions that get results - and referrals.
A practical evidence-based, hands-on LIVE course for Exercise Physiologists, Occupational Therapists and Physiotherapists working with children.
✔ ESSA Accredited (20 ESSA Points)
✔ 20 Hours CPD for Allied Health Professionals
✔ Real-world skills you can use immediately
If you work with children, you already know this:
- University taught you the theory — but not how to confidently run paediatric sessions
- You second-guess your assessments and programming
- Sessions can feel messy, unpredictable, or hard to progress
- You want to do more for your paediatric clients — but you’re unsure what “next” looks like
This course was created to bridge the gap between knowing and doing.
Not another passive lecture.
Not abstract theory.
But practical paediatric skills you can apply the very next day.
By the end of the 1-day workshop, you will be able to:
✔ Confidently assess children using structured, repeatable protocols
✔ Prescribe age-appropriate, goal-driven exercise and movement programs
✔ Modify sessions in real-time for attention, behaviour and regulation needs
✔ Deliver sessions that children enjoy — and parents value
✔ Clearly explain your clinical reasoning to families and referrers
✔ Feel confident saying “yes” to paediatric clients (instead of avoiding them)
This is about clinical confidence, not just knowledge.

One of the benefits of taking Kids Heart Pilates bundle course is being more aware and adaptable to exercise prescription when dealing with internal referrals for children.
