Meet the Instructors

As early as first quarter in chiropractic school they were attracted to each other’s commitment to chiropractic and the pursuit of excellence.  Their combined 80 years of personal and clinical and teaching experience, in delivering the chiropractic adjustment is unparalleled in the chiropractic profession.  Their international outreach through teaching, writing and lecturing has been a driving force in their personal and professional careers since their first seminar taught together as students, in 1979.

Their years of experience have taught them what works and what does not work to create a successful practice and lifestyle. The more competent and comprehensive your expertise you will find that more patients will seek your services and your practice will grow exponentially.

    You will walk away with tools that will allow you to be confident in helping with more complex cases. I’ve taken away the subtlety of knowing when to keep going and when to stop. I’ve gained a deeper skill set and awareness in how I can go about analyzing a person, and what different things I can try when I’m not seeing changes.

    The program makes me feel like I’ve elevated my knowledge base which in turn helps my confidence levels in both personal and professional scenarios. I think personally it has helped me also further solidify in my mind the importance of the pediatric chiropractic practice and the lifelong implications it has on a child’s nervous system.

    I used the occipital fibers to find a Line 2 tender nodule which pointed me to a rotated thoracic vertebrae which felt like it moved like butter after adjusting it.

    Absolutely yes, I would recommend this program. It gives you tools and an awareness that allows you to go deeper with your patients.

    I really appreciate how many instructors there are in the teaching sessions. It allows me to stay engaged throughout the whole seminar (time flew by) and also hear from different perspectives as we learned through hands-on training. I also appreciate how some of the material was presented via video learning and given in a slower-dripped way of one video per week. Made it very digestible and manageable to complete.

    “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.”
