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.

Feedback from Our Students

    My three takeaways:
    1. Gaining increased confidence around analysing cranial dysfunction and adjusting.
    2. Being able to analyse more efficiently and specifically, what is occurring for the child and how that may be impacting their quality of life
    3. Effective and specific cranial adjusting techniques with fantastic explanations meaning you can go straight into practice and apply learning

    Able to relate to real life reflux/feeding issues with my babies. Having much more confidence in explaining what is happening for patient’s little ones in practice, as well as to midwives and lactation consultants.

    Using a lot of sphenobasilar flexion/extension correction and release has made such a shift in looking at a primary subluxation. Removing secondary and compensation mechanisms.

    Yes, I would recommend this program, it goes at a manageable speed. The content is applicable in practice right away and everything is explained and shown just like if you were to be attending an in-person seminar.

    Thank you so much for giving me the confidence in not only improving my adjusting skills but my ability to explain to practitioners and parents what is happening with their children.

    “In my community there aren’t many pediatric chiropractors and being one of the few, I promised myself that I would do my best to learn as much as I possibly could to better myself as a pediatric chiropractor. There’s no better way to do that than by learning from Drs. Rosen and Watson who are experts in the field of pediatric chiropractic. Three takeaways I received from this course:
    1. Proper chiropractic care in the pediatric population cannot be underestimated especially because that is when the body system is most vulnerable and developing very quickly.
    2. Craniosacral and SOT® are very highly effective techniques when it comes to treating the pediatric population.
    3. Less is better.

    I feel like I still have much to learn from the course. With that being said though, I do feel like taking this course has given me a different perspective and ability on how I do my evaluation and treatment on the pediatric population. Thus, slowly building my confidence and skills.

    In my practice I deal with many tongue tie and lip tie issues. Currently I had a 3 month baby get a revision done but continue to have difficulties with breastfeeding which left the mother hurting and discouraged. After doing some intra oral correction and the fruit jar procedure, we were able to get a significant improvement in the baby latch and feeding which created less pain for the mother.

    I would highly recommend this course to other chiropractors. Dr. Rosen does an amazing job of explaining, simplifying, and demonstrating the methodology behind his evaluation and adjusting protocol. Which in turn inspires you to want to get to that same level of expertise.

    You don’t realize the lack of knowledge and skills you have when it comes to treating the pediatric population until you go through this course. I’m very thankful to Dr. Martin and Dr. Watson for taking the time to put this course together to help other chiropractors like myself become better and successful in treating the pediatric population. It’s truly an honor to learn from Dr. Martin and Dr. Watson!”
