    “The pediatric certification program is a gold mine of quality information. The depth of the pediatric exam is such that, when done, there will be no doubt in your mind what needs to be done and why. Clinical certainty is such an important part of practice, and the information gained throughout the program has significantly uplevel my clinical certainty. In addition to an in-depth overall exam and analysis procedure that’s taught, there are also several condition specific indicators that have also been impactful and helpful in practice. Daily in practice I’m able to apply the information gained through the certification to not only better serve my community, but also to feel good at the end of the day that we were able to offer our patients the finest of what’s possible in chiropractic. Thank you Drs. Rosen and I look forward to continuing on this journey!

    Thank you, truly, for offering the program. It has made a big difference.”

    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.

The Role of Primitive Reflexes in Neurological Organization

The Peak Potential Institute is excited to present Dr. Courtney Neill’s online program, “The Role of Primitive Reflexes in Neurological Organization.” This course goes beyond understanding primitive reflexes—it provides practical assessment and integration exercises that chiropractors can use to help address retained primitive reflex patterns.

Dr. Neill guides participants through the development of the different levels of the brain and explains how neurological input, motor output, developmental milestones, and primitive reflexes work together during normal neurological organization. You’ll learn how to recognize retained primitive reflexes and understand how they may influence sensory processing, coordination, posture, movement patterns, and higher-level neurological function.

You’ll learn:

  • The four primary motion patterns of the cranium
    • We’ll explore how respiratory motion, dural tension, cerebrospinal mechanics and structural relationships (sutures and fontanelles) guide cranial motion, especially in infants where early patterns set the stage for development.
  • How these patterns influence individual cranial bones
  • Tools to assess proper cranial movement and function
  • The impact of subtle restrictions on growth, development, and neurological integrity
