Learning Outcomes: 

- Identify tongue-tie accurately using evidence-based and functional assessment frameworks

- Recognise retained primitive reflexes and their impact on oral function, posture, and development

- Understand compensations and rewiring the nervous system for optimal outcomes

- Conduct comprehensive assessments across infants, children, and adults

- Make clear, safe, and defensible clinical decisions regarding intervention and referral

- Understand the relationship between tongue-tie, airway development, sleep, posture, and breathing dysfunction in all ages

- Understand the effects of mouth breathing on oral development.

- Recognise compensatory patterns involving posture, fascia, and whole-body tension

- Understand feeding biomechanics and early functional challenges in infants

- Identify red flags requiring multidisciplinary or medical escalation

- Appreciate the role of myofunctional therapy, rehabilitation, and bodywork in long-term outcomes

- Collaborate effectively within multidisciplinary referral and treatment pathways

- Develop integrated patient-centred treatment plans focused on function and long-term health outcomes

- Apply current evidence and clinical reasoning to improve patient safety and treatment success

What You'll Learn

A New Standard in Tongue-Tie, Airway & Functional Healthcare

This immersive multidisciplinary programme has been designed to move beyond isolated tongue-tie treatment and explore the wider relationship between oral restrictions, airway development, sleep, feeding, neurological integration, nervous system regulation, posture, and whole-body function.

Delegates will gain the skills to correctly identify tongue-ties in their own practice. Throughout the programme, you'll gain practical clinical insight into how tongue-tie impacts infants, children, and adults and how integrated care pathways can significantly improve patient outcomes. You'll learn to understand compensations and how to support nervous system rewiring for optimal outcomes.

By the end of the programme, delegates will confidently know when to refer, identify ideal referral candidates, and understand the full scope of collaborative care.
