My three takeaways from this program:
1. Requires commitment, and time. 2. Changes your approach to chiropractic. 3. Improves your practice.

Taking this course has deepened my passion for treating paediatric patients, and therefore my paediatric patient base has grown without needing to increase advertising etc.

Since Starting, every time I have helped a mum and baby improve their breastfeeding journey, has had me in awe of SOT. The one Mum was about to introduce formula because her baby was not gaining weight from exclusive breast feeding, but after the first adjustment, her baby’s latch improved. The mum looked at me with tears in her eyes and said, “it feels so different”. They have not had to introduce formula or bottles yet, and the baby is now 3 months old.

Yes, I would recommend this program. SOT is a different approach to chiropractic to what we were taught. I have learnt so much more over the 10 months, even though this is the second time I’ve done this course.

There is so much content, it is easy to get a little lost, especially if SOT is new to you. I found myself re-listening, re-reading over and over again. I think access to the videos for a little longer is incredibly valuable. Thank you Drs. Marty and Nancy for teaching your knowledge and creating a legacy.

My takeaways:
1. A much-structured way of approaching pediatric assessment.
2. A better understanding of spinal and cranial findings and how they can guide clinical decision making.
3. The importance of having a clear process of assessment, correction and recheck.

Professionally, the program has given me a much clearer framework for pediatric assessment and care. Although I have not yet had the opportunity to treat infants in practice. Personally, it has also encouraged me to continue developing my knowledge in pediatric chiropractic rather than approaching it simply as a smaller version of adult care.

I haven’t had the opportunity to apply the techniques with an infant in clinical practice yet. To be honest, I’m also not 100% confident at this stage, as I’m still learning, reviewing and trying to fully understand the concepts and techniques taught in the program. There is a lot of information to take in, and I feel that building confidence will come with continued study and eventually more hands-on experience. However, the program has given me a much clearer framework and foundation for pediatric assessment, and I now have a better idea of what I need to look for and continue working on before applying it in practice.

Yes. I would recommend it to chiropractors who are interested in pediatric care and want a structured framework rather than simply learning a collection of techniques. The program goes into considerable depth and has helped me understand the reasoning behind the assessment and correction process.

I really appreciate the depth of knowledge and clinical experience shared throughout the program. Thank you to Dr. Rosen and Dr. Watson for sharing their knowledge and experience so generously.
