    1. You will finally understand cranial movement 2. You will be able to help those more difficult cases in practice 3.You will learn how to properly examine a paed patient, have your baseline set of neurological indicators, an amazing toolbox for adjustments for an array of conditions, and then as treatment progresses how to measure the change.

    Personally: I have been adjusting my own kids. assessing each of their own subluxation patterns- I’ve seen such a positive change in “symptoms”. Having completed the course in a somewhat challenging year has allowed me to grow as a person. It was a nice gentle reminder that I can do hard things. Professionally: The course expanded my clinical skills, giving me a more integrated and holistic approach to assessment and care. I feel more confident in assessing and managing more complex paediatric cases.

    I used some of the techniques on my newborn son, who at 2 weeks developed a cold and terrible congestion. It was incredible to see firsthand how the adjustments helped clear his system so quickly.

    Yes absolutely. I would recommend it because of the wealth of knowledge I have gained. You will gain the clinical skill set needed to treat most paed cases.

    Thank you for making this possible for South African Chiropractors. I look forward to the hands-on seminar in January!

    “I love working with kids and pregnant ladies. I strongly believe that forming a good foundation is much easier than solving the problems later in age. I hope to get a set of tools in hands to serve the paediatric populations in Asia, having more kids to grow functionally healthy is my vision.

    The programme is systematic and the group is being very supportive. The contents of the course are eye-opening to me, as a beginner in the field of paediatric chiropractic in South East Asia.

    I’m more confident to deal with kids in my practice, and the case sharing sessions provided me with great insight when we come across difficult / rare conditions. My adjustment style has changed so much from more mechanical based to neurological based.

    My favourite is CSF balancing technique for the majority of my patients, including adults. It’s incredibly useful in Singapore, such a stressful city. Besides that, I started to attract newborns into my practices. I’m having a hearing dysfunction newborn under my cranial treatments.

    Definitely would recommend this program. It’s an excellent skill set to have in hands and I love the systematic content structure that comes along with group discussion.

    Personally I love the systematic content structure that comes along with group discussion. As a beginner in paediatric care, I would say it is comprehensive yet beginner friendly. The Dr. Sharing sessions provided me with practical advice from senior chiropractors. Most importantly, I feel supported to practice such a unique technique far from the US.

    Dr. Rosen and Dr. Watson, I am grateful for your guidance and wisdom! I’m so happy that the course is available online which I could access without physical barriers”

    “I have been using SOT® in clinic for a number of years and I wanted to become more proficient with incorporating cranials into the way I practice. I wanted to understand why my own child has the cranial distortions she has which is why the course was a bit hard for me.

    Three takeaways: By the time a child gets to the age of 2, they have developed 80% of the adult gray and white matter volume. If there is stress in that system, it will affect the ability of the grey matter to develop, and it has lifelong consequences. If we minimize the cause of that stress on the system, that removes the primary subluxation in that 1st year of life and allows for normal neuro-development and ultimately optimal function of the nervous system,. Less is more. Use all of your skills when assessing a patient, not just the orthopaedic. We underutilize the things that sets us apart as chiropractors from other health professionals and that is our ability to palpate. Use this to feel more than just musculoskeletal, use it to feel fascia, tone, breath, CSF, CRI. Look beyond the secondary subluxations; find the underlying cause, the primary subluxation of the dis-ease for longer lasting relief for the nervous system, allowing optimal and normal developmental growth patterns.

    This course has increased my understanding as to why and when I should implement adjustments at particular times and increased clinical clarity. I have a more effective and efficient evaluation of not only my paediatric patients but everyone under my care. I am changing the way I explain what chiropractic is and stop dumbing it down by minimizing explanations based on my perception of what they can understand, with the air to allow the patient to have the full understanding of the power of the nervous system. Some of the content was triggering for me due to PTSD from the birth trauma of my own daughter’s cranial distortion patterns. Prior to the birth of my daughter, I would have said that I was confident in basic cranial adjusting. After her birth, I lost all my confidence. I am not back to seeing paediatric patients and the number of them I am seeing is increasing dur to patient referrals.

    Last week: mum of a 4 week old baby boy came to see me just for a spinal checkup because that’s what all her friends do with their kids. During the exam discovered that breastfeeding was extremely painful to the point she is considering quitting but would prefer not to. Evaluated and adjusted bub (absent left suck reflex, wasn’t using tongue effectively, mum has never seen him raise his tongue, right TMJ restriction), mum fed directly after and was in tears because that was the first non-painful feed she has experienced. Second visit in the week bub was poking out his tongue, lifting it comfortably, suck reflex bilateral was great, TMJ no longer restricted. Whilst we have more balancing to do mum was so happy that she can see the path to a long breastfeeding journey now. For me it really reinforced the power of chiropractic, minimal but focused adjustment to facilitate optimal and normal growth patterns. My place in my community is to support mums, raising a child is hard, but so much harder when their nervous system is less than optimal.

    I have already recommended this course to a number of people in my network. In particular those in my clinic, not only for their further education but hopefully to continue to refine my skills and understanding when we have our own team education staff meetings. There are some fantastic clinical pearls throughout the whole course. When you’ve tried adjusting in a certain way, I like how you’ve offered what you should be looking at next to help balance the system and look beyond symptom relief, focusing on the primary subluxation. I found that really helpful, guiding me to what I should be looking for in my patients when I am not seeing the desired outcome. I have attained my basic & advanced certification here in Australia, which allows me to table educate for categories and CMRT events. I have attended many of the advanced cranial seminars offered in Australia, including intra-orals, TMJ, suturals, cranial specifics and non-specifics ( some of these multiple times). I think for SOT® practitioners in Australia who have undertaken the seminars available in Australia that your course offers a next level of understanding as to why and when we should be implementing particular SOT® techniques.

    As a first time mum returning to work, it helped me with clinical clarity and confidence when working with the paediatric population. I really liked the platform it was presented in, the app allowed for easier re-watching when I couldn’t get a concept to stick, the booklets and transcripts helped to reinforce the trickier aspects of the theory components that my post-natal brain struggled to retain. As a chiropractor who is nearly 10 years in the workforce, the course has guided me to search deeper for the cause not just symptoms. And as an SOT® practitioner your course offers a next level of understanding as to why and when we should be implementing particular SOT® techniques.

    The content was great. I struggled at times. I think if it were not for the course having set deadlines I very well could have stuck my head in the sand. I look forward to doing more courses with you in the future. My confidence has really picked up with your course and we are planning a second baby so on a personal level, your course has helped in unintended but positive ways, thank you.”

    “I took this program to improve my examination skills and to develop a better understanding of SOT®. My three takeaways:
    1. Better examinations
    2. Specific findings to know exactly where you need to adjust
    3. Improved palpation skills.

    Personally, this is adding more tools to my toolbox to help patients. Professionally, being able to take a deeper dive into assessing the patient and having a sound protocol to help them improve their health. I have been working with an infant with congestion. After working through sphenobasilar, temporal, frontal and palate, parents have noticed an improvement in the congestion.

    I would definitely recommend this program to other practitioners. There is a lot of information, but each module you are able to apply skills learned to practice on Monday. This course has been great. For me, it’s going to be the continued practice of the techniques taught. I loved this program. I wish I would not have fallen behind and wish I would have made the live Q&As. For me its practice, making charts and improving my palpatory skills.”

    There is so much more that we as Chiropractors can do for our patients by incorporating cranial adjusting. Having measurable indicators has changed the way that I practice. My practice toolbox is so much fuller now.

    I can’t stop seeing cranial asymmetries

    I am currently working with a Plagio case, and the sphenobasilar adjusting has helped so much.

    I would absolutely recommend this program. If we are going to make a difference in Paediatric Chiropractic, we all need to speak the same language.

    There is a lot of information, and I had to refer back a lot. But I absolutely loved the course. I feel that I have only started on my SOT journey.
