Marietta, Georgia – February 24, 2022 – Life University faculty member and alumnus Drew Rubin (’89), D.C., DACCP, is producing a seminar with world-renowned creator of the Polyvagal Theory, Stephen Porges, Ph.D., on Saturday, April 2, 2022 titled “Polyvagal-Informed Pediatric Chiropractic: Enhancing your Pediatric Practice with Brain-Based Empowerment Tools.”
Many facets of neuroplasticity will be covered, incorporating the latest research in the Polyvagal Theory to help attendees look at practice members in a new light. Attendees of the live seminar will learn how to better assess and work with neurodiverse children/adults at various ages and stages. Whether it is in the intake, the evaluation or the actual care rendered, the practitioner can use Polyvagal-enhanced techniques to improve patient rapport building and connection.
