    “I took this program to deepen my knowledge in cranial adjusting, increase my tool box for babies and children and learn more SOT® protocols.

    Three takeaways I would like to share about this program, are an in depth information of all common pediatric issues and adjustment protocols for treatment and more in depth cranial knowledge, learning the sphenoid and all its motions and how to properly adjust it and confidence in helping children and babies resolve their primary subluxations.

    This program has impacted me as a provider by making me more confident in correcting subluxations and speaking to parents. It has impacted my practice by increasing the number of babies being served and getting relief from their issues.

    Learning proper palate and intra-oral evaluations from this class and textbook, have increased helping more babies born in the birth community I serve with latching and TOTS. I had a case of treating a mom. The midwife went and clipped the tongue tie at day two of life.

    Since I had established care with mom, I came to check her son. He had uneven palate and a sphenoid in extreme torsion. I was able to use SOR and help release his sphenomaxillary and sphenobasilar joints. Also applying fruit jars all helped with increasing his latch on one side. Mom also reported less pain and spit up. Continued care of him eventually had him functioning and clear of his sphenobasilar restrictions.

    I have enjoyed taking this course spread out and congruently with the 10 month online course. It is really putting the puzzle together. So thank you for what you guys are doing for the profession and grateful to study with you.”

    “I have a large number of pre/post-natal and pediatric patients and wanted to be able to serve their needs to the best of my capacity. I specifically wanted to learn the cranial adjustments in course 2.

    My takeaway is to plan on taking the course multiple times if you are new to SOT – it’s an enormous amount of information. This program gave me more knowledge and tools for my tool box.”
