This is a very in-depth course that requires diligence and passion to persevere. You will gain such fantastic knowledge that you can immediately use in your paediatric practice. Doing this course will provide you with an exceptional number of different adjustments and treatment protocols that will most certainly set you apart from others.

Personally, it has been tough to get back into study mode, whilst working and managing everyday mom duties, but it has pushed me to show me I am capable and has improved my skills as a Chiropractor greatly – from revised anatomy, better history takings, visual analysis and helping me trust in my hands more. Professionally I have felt I can be more assertive and give realistic goals and outcomes to patients/parents. I truly feel like more of an expert particularly around cranial distortions and their corrections.

Currently I have a 1-month-old baby girl that started seeing me at 2 weeks because she was very unsettled. Upon examination I had to break the news that this baby’s head was not ideal – a severe scaphocephaly. Immediately I knew how to explain to the parents what this was, what we look out for, how we assess it and treat it. Obviously a possible craniosynostosis is in the forefront of my mind, but we/I have been able to approach this case with logic and goals in mind. So far on visual analysis I can see she is stuck in an extension strain pattern with more marked internal rotation of the right frontal and right temporal bones. There is no sagittal ridging, and her anterior fontanelle is still very much open and palpable. We have done an ultrasound to monitor the sutures and fontanelle for premature closure, and I have been applying my cranial (and pelvic) adjustments. We have already seen some improvement with good growth of her skull, evening out of her nasolabial folds and an overall more settled baby. I feel confident in being able to help this baby but also confident to know when maybe my treatment is not enough.

I would highly recommend this course if treating paeds and kids is a passion of yours, and you want to be the person of excellence in your area. I feel like this course has given me the skills and confidence to be that Chiropractor!

Thank you to both of you for always showing up, being so open and friendly, always answering questions etc. and I truly can’t wait to refine all of this in January with the practical.

“My three takeaways from this program:
1. This is the most in-depth continuing education you will do (most likely) and it will take a lot of time to properly use/integrate into your practice.
2. Be ready for some pushback from parents as far as working intra-oral contacts. As confidence in speaking about why you are doing specific techniques improves, this will get better/easier.
3. Contact the Drs. and ask questions. They are very helpful and truly care about helping you grow your confidence and skill set.

Having 2 kids under 3 years of age myself and running a PX office over the last (almost) year, this course has been a life saver for tough cases. I am so thankful for having taken this course.
We had a 2 week old kiddo enter the practice with colic. Parents had slept about 1 hour each per night consistent since the baby was born. All 3 were completely exhausted and the parents expressed how they felt as though they were unable to enjoy being 1st time parents. After using several of the techniques in this course, the baby is much calmer. We are still searching for the primary/root cause as it seems to be changing frequently, but the parents stated “this is the best investment I have ever made.”

100% I would recommend this course to anyone who deals with the pediatric population frequently in their office. Once again, this is the most in depth course I have ever taken. It gives step by step directions to help even the toughest cases.
You both have been so understanding with the time it took me to catch up on the course through opening a practice and having a baby. I appreciate your patience with me and the knowledge you have provided me. Thank You.”

The cranial structures are a vital part of the paediatric system that should be carefully evaluated and treated accordingly.

I’m definitely more equipped in the cranial assessments of my paediatric patients.

I often see a hyper gag reflex with my sub-optimal breastfeeding cases, and I now get to treat that with the SOT techniques that I’ve acquired.

Yes, I would recommend this course for other chiros with similar interests.

Thank you for sharing your experience and your knowledge.

“My three takeaways from this program:

1. Building the case for kids and chiropractic – especially in the first year of life
2. Powerful exam protocols to gain info to truly see how a child is developing and what techniques to start with
3. Powerful new techniques (tools in the toolbox) to help above and beyond spinal adjustments to be able to help every child with every possible condition.

It has deepened my conviction and confidence around babies being adjusted as early as possible (for ideal cranial and brain development) and not just for their spinal health. I also feel like we are now the pediatric experts in our community (even though we still have years of learning and mastery to go).

We have an infant who wasn’t sleeping more than 2 hours at a time who Dr Mel and I have been using many of these new techniques with and he is not only sleeping through the night but his hematoma is shrinking and his skull is looking more normal.

Thank you both for all your hard work, commitment and passion to get this work into more and more chiropractic practices.”

My three takeaways:
Very in-depth cranial adjusting, more confidence in visual analysis, overall more comfortability and confidence working with infants.

This program has helped me serve more babies and families, which has helped to create more ease in families. It has led me down a path of pediatric adjusting that I didn’t know existed and am excited to continue learning

There was a mother whose baby wasn’t breastfeeding at all and she was just about to give up and I used the frontal molding technique, and the baby latched instantly right in front of me and has been breastfeeding ever since.

Yes, I would recommend this program because there is no other course out there that is as in-depth or comprehensive. I wouldn’t refer to or trust my child’s care with someone who hasn’t taken this course

I am super appreciative of the dedication that you have to this work and to the chiropractic profession. I am grateful to have learned from you; I am sad that it’s over but look forward to continuing in the future.
