My takeaways from this program: It’s a lot, in a good way – prepare to be a bit overwhelmed but also inspired to put it all together. Having a system of indicators helps you be thorough, accurate and consistent in your care. Look for the lynchpin adjustment(s) rather than trying to cover all the bases.
My life has been a bit unconventional for the last six or seven years, but I have had opportunities to learn so much. I am at a point in my life where I want to be excellent at what I do, genuinely specialised. This program is a big part of that intention.
I would recommend this program. I think there’s a huge need for competent paediatric chiropractic care.
I would like to see some discussion about the paediatric TMJ and how it develops, with some consideration of adapting techniques by age. I also think the tongue-tie part could be tightened up a bit. Dr. Rosen and Dr. Nancy are wonderful, very engaging and inspirational.

“Detailed content very comprehensive I would suggest having some basic pediatric, SOT, and cranial knowledge going into the course.
It greatly enhanced my overall knowledge of cranial adjusting and pediatric care.
Updated our exam and intake forms making new patient exams smoother and more comprehensive. More cranial techniques in my toolkit has allowed for more change in my patients and results faster.
I would recommend this program. It is very comprehensive. Of course there is always more to learn but this course goes over so much and gives such a nice base of knowledge to work with.
Thank you so much for providing such an amazing program.”

Ready to elevate your practice and transform patient outcomes? Our 38-class ONLINE Cranial Immersion Class offers an unparalleled opportunity to learn chiropractic cranial adjusting SM protocols from A to Z. Designed for practitioners eager to master the art and science of cranial work, this immersive course will guide you through every aspect—from foundational anatomy to advanced correction techniques.
This course provides chiropractors with an in-depth understanding of the SOT® (Sacral Occipital Technique) Three Category System. Participants will learn to identify, evaluate, and correct Category I, II, and III subluxation patterns using SOT® adjusting protocols.
Can a Chiropractic Adjustment Be Both Gentle and Highly Specific? Chiropractic low-intensity spinal adjusting uses precise positioning, specific contacts and neurologically informed reflex responses to support gentle correction without forcing motion. Through precise positioning and the facilitation of the body’s proprioceptive and nociceptive reflexes, it helps restore structural balance by encouraging the body to return to its optimal state of ease.
In this online program, Dr. Martin Rosen teaches chiropractors how to evaluate and address cervical, thoracic, lumbar and pelvic dysfunction/subluxation using low-intensity procedures. Participants learn neurological indicators, contact points, positioning principles, adjusting sequences and re-evaluation procedures they can use with specificity and confidence, especially when high-velocity adjusting may not be appropriate or preferred.
