Nothing New Under the Sun?: A "Tethered Oral Tissues" Literature Review 2018 to the Present by Alison Hazelbaker

This event will be broadcast live on:

May 31st 2024, 1:00 PM EST
90 mins

To Register, click HERE

This event will be recorded and sent to all ticket holders

Approved for 1.5 R-CERPs

Approval number: C2024084

Description:

Much of clinical practice regarding "Tethered Oral Tissues" has been based on belief rather than on science. Given we are duty-bound to practice according to the evidence, Dr. Hazelbaker examines the scientific research literature on "TOTs" from the past 5 years. She answers the questions: What is new? What is good quality? What can we apply to clinical practice? What should we ignore? Participants will come away with a better understanding of which scientific research on "TOTs" should inform clinical practice.

 Objectives:

The participant will be able to:

1.Describe the basic principles of good research study design.

2.Describe the major failings of “tethered oral tissues” research.

3.Discuss at least three good studies and their impact on clinical practice.

Outline:
 
l.  Study design: a review of the basics
    a.   What is evidence-informed practice?
    b.   Hierarchy of evidence
    c.   How to tell a good study from a bad one based on methodological considerations

ll. The “TOTS” Research: 2018-the present

    a.   Tongue-tie including the enigmatic posterior tie
    b.   Maxillary lip-tie
    c.   Buccal tie
    d.   Miscellaneous claims and considerations in the research
    e.   Gamechanger studies we should really pay attention to

lll. Clinical Implications of the “TOTs” Research

    a. Which studies belong in the round file?
    b. Which studies should we consider as a jumping off place for more research before changing clinical practice?
    c. Which studies should inform our clinical practice?

Dr. Hazelbaker has been a therapist for 40 years. She specializes in cross-disciplinary treatment and to that end has taken training in several modalities to best assist her clients. She is a certified Craniosacral Therapist, a Lymph Drainage Therapy practitioner, a Tummy Time™ Trainer, a Rhythmic Movement practitioner and an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant. She runs a private practice in Columbus, Ohio.

Her original research on tongue-tie, done in 1993, has changed clinical practice both in the USA and abroad. She authored the Assessment Tool for Lingual Frenulum Function (ATLFF) during her Master’s Degree program. The ATLFF remains the only research-based tongue-tie screening process in infants under 6 months.

Crying babies, fussiness at the breast and other confusing baby behaviours can leave parents and health professionals feeling at a loss. Observing these common situations from a wider lens can provide practitioners (and parents) with a deeper understanding of babies and with it new strategies and skills to better support babies and their families to improve breastfeeding and bonding in general.

Join us for this 6 hour webinar to deepen your work with babies and their families. Our six speakers are leaders in their fields and have integrated different disciplines into their approach to working with babies. They bring insights from craniosacral therapy, bowen therapy, pre/perinatal psychology, polyvagal theory, body psychotherapy and integrated baby therapy.

Our webinars are prerecorded (not live) so you don't have to be at a certain place at a certain time. You can access this webinar in your own time, at your own pace, from anywhere in the world and from any device - desktop computer, laptop, tablet, or smartphone. All you need is a good internet connection. Webinars are usually streamed for around 12 weeks giving you plenty of time to watch, or re-watch the presentations.

Who is this webinar for:

• Lactation consultants, midwives, doulas, child and maternal health nurses, doctors/ obgyns, craniosacral therapists, osteopaths, and other bodyworkers. Parents too!

This webinar is for anyone that works with babies (or has a baby) to:

• Better understand babies perinatal experience

• Learn more about birth interventions and their consequences

• Take a more holistic view of baby behaviour, breastfeeding problems, “colic” excessive crying

• Learn more about CST and other baby therapies and its place in supporting babies

WEBINAR

SEVEN STRATEGIES FOR INFANT SUCKING ISSUES WHEN BODYWORK IS NOT READILY AVAILABLE BY ALISON HAZELBAKER

$15.00 - CLICK HERE TO REGISTER

CEUs: 1.5 L-CERPs

This event was previously recorded:

March 18th, 1 PM EST

*This live event was recorded and will be sent to everyone that purchases a ticket.

In this groundbreaking presentation, Dr. Hazelbaker presents seven very effective strategies for resolving infant sucking issues easily learned and implemented by the lactation consultant without violating scope of practice. Many sucking problems respond very well to bodywork. There is significant anecdotal and research evidence to prove this case. But bodywork is not always readily available or financially accessible. In the absence of readily available bodywork, the lactation consult can effectively address sucking issues using one, some or all of the seven (plus one bonus) strategies presented.

Objectives:

The participant will be able to:

1. Discuss the important role of bodywork in addressing infant sucking issues.

2. Discuss seven strategies for resolving infant sucking issues.

3. Describe the proper use of the breast crawl as a therapeutic strategy.

4. Describe two external oral strategies for improving suction in the oral area.

5. Describe three strategies for improving posturally-related infant sucking issues.

Outline:

I. Bodywork and infant sucking

Seeing Birth From Baby's Perspective

Attuning to their stories from conception onward

Click HERE to register

Babies are always telling us their stories

The question is….

How well are we listening?

We now know that the baby's experience of conception, pregnancy, birth, and attachment can provide a lifelong template for health and a foundation of resiliency to life’s challenges. Yet, the baby's experience often remains unconscious but profoundly alive in the body. Healing and integrating these early overwhelming events is possible.

In this course you will learn:

• The importance of understanding the baby from the inside out. In our modern world, we come at babies from the outside in.

• How to get the baby's story and hear from their perspective

• To understand the neurophysiology of trauma in infants

• That prevention begins with working on our own early experiences

Who is the course for:

• Therapists, educators, and medical professionals who are interested in better understanding the baby's experience and preventing early trauma. All practitioners who work with moms and babies and want to be able to serve them in the best way possible.

Benefits of taking this course:

• A new look at the baby's experience, and ways to introduce this paradigm to your audiences

• Leading edge information from prenatal and perinatal pioneers and practitioners

• Valuable Tools for practitioners to improve your skills in working with moms and babies

• You will learn the in depth implications of birth trauma and healing

• Learn more about your own relationship to your birth experience

Course Introduction: Conscious Baby Principles

• Kate White: 10 Principles of The Conscious Baby (Free View Available)

The course below is divided into three parts:

• 1) Understanding the Baby's Experience: 3 presentations to help us understand how babies are conscious in the womb, how they can remember prenatal experience and birth, and ways we can help babies heal if they have overwhelming experiences. Each presentation has additional article, tools, and scripts for you!

• 2) Bonding, Attachment, and the Trauma Imprint: Obstetrical interventions, parents' experiences and more can have an impact on the developing baby. These lectures talk about the theme of betrayal for babies and how these early experiences can create a patterns in our autonomic nervous system. They also follow the story of babies and how we can heal them through relationships. There are many experiences that start even preconception, especially stress. Enjoy these experts as they talk about the baby's experience.

• 3) Healing Early, Developmental Trauma and the Impact of Trauma on Babies: Our pioneers in prenatal and perinatal psychology created healing modalities to be with babies that recognize their consciousness. Trends in healing talk about developmental trauma, or overwhelming events that occur early and can be chronic in our families. APPPAH has developed an approach that supports the healing of babies and positive change in our medical systems.

Bonus Material

• Babies Are Not What We Thought by David Chamberlain. Pioneer and APPPAH co-founder talks about consciousness and the sensitivity of babies.
