Cuevas Medek Exercises (CME) is a pediatric physiotherapy approach based on dynamic challenging exercises manually applied for children whose developmental motor functions are impaired. This approach provides very concrete guidelines to stimulate babies in a totally safe way, starting from two months of age to many years after birth. In this introductory workshop, you will gain an understanding of the basic principles of CME. You will learn how and why CME works and how to determine the appropriateness of this approach for your own child or a child on your caseload. You will also learn about programs leading towards professional certification in CME techniques.
