“My three takeaways are:
1. How important specificity is when doing cranial work and how important it is to truly understand the mechanics of the cranium in order to achieve optimal results
2. How many symptoms and challenges, especially in the pediatric population, can be attributed to the cranium and dural meningeal stress.
3. How to do a much more specific examination on infants and children to really hone in on the primary areas of concern.This course is giving me the confidence to get back into practice after taking 6 years off to raise my kids. It has given me more clinical certainty and a much larger tool box to pull from in order to treat kids with all sorts of conditions.
I haven’t yet gotten back into practice; however, I used the ear infection protocol on my 4 year old. I was concerned because when he would get ear infections years prior they would progress very quickly and it would end up spreading to both ears and needing antibiotics. This past winter he got a few ear infections and within a few hours of me using the protocol on him, he would clear the infection and feel completely fine. It was absolutely incredible to watch!
I absolutely would recommend this course to others. I think it’s vital for any chiropractor who sees children to take it. If chiropractors aren’t checking the cranium and adjusting with incredible specificity then it is doing their community a disservice.
I absolutely loved this program and I look forward to taking more of your courses in the future. One thing that i think could be a really phenomenal addition to this course is case management information. I love that I know so many more techniques now; however, I’m not sure I would be able to answer patient questions as to how long a child will take to see shifts and changes with their health, or the best and most effective treatment schedules. Maybe doing some case studies where you show what a patient presents with, how you managed their case clinically throughout their care and what specifically you adjusted on them, and how long it took for them to achieve optimal results. I think this would help me boost my clinical confidence even more. Thank you so much for creating this course! I’m so incredibly grateful to have found you both!”

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.
