About the Program

Welcome to the SOT® Pediatric Certificate Program and the home of Chiropractic Cranial Adjusting TM methods. We are proud to offer one of the most comprehensive pediatric certification programs in the chiropractic profession. With over 80 years of combined clinical practice and teaching experience, our commitment to education and chiropractic excellence is second to none. 

We are seeking individuals who are committed to elevating the delivery of the chiropractic adjustment as the forefront of their practice. If you share our passion for advancing patient care through precise and effective adjusting techniques, we invite you to join our community and embark on a journey towards professional excellence with us.

Our Pediatric Certificate Program provides two avenues for certification: a 10-month online program and a 48-hour hybrid (16 hours online, 32 hours in-person) seminar series. Upon completing either of these programs, participants will be listed in our exclusive Pediatric Referral Directory and invited to join our membership program. Our members, who have found their professional home with us, aspire to master our techniques, and may eventually choose to join the Peak Potential Institute as part of our training staff.

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.

    “Having taken the introductory course to Cranial work with Drs. Marty Rosen, Erin Rosen & Nancy Watson I was inspired to take the full certification series. Each weekend I was able to delve deeper into my understanding of Cranial palpation and adjusting, honing the skills necessary to bring back to my patients.

    In the introductory course I was overwhelmed with the vast amount of content while at the same time inspired with a new sense of purpose. Each seminar, I would get a little more comfortable with my ability to feel the slight movements available in the cranial sutures all while getting a better understanding of the vital role it all plays in our patients overall health and well-being.

    I would highly recommend this course to anyone that is thinking about adding this work to their practice. I love the family dynamic the three of these amazing practitioners brings to the seminar and I am honored to have learned from their experience. They are my people.”

    “My three takeaways:
    1. Deeper understanding of the dural-meningeal system and its role in subluxation.
    2. Reliable analysis that I know will lead me to the primary subluxation.
    3. Increased confidence in care planning (no longer under-recommending care for newborns).

    Professionally, I feel more confident in my analysis, adjustments, and in communication with practice members. I see many more babies now that other moms and lactation consultants are referring to me. I love being part of a growing community of support for moms and babies. Personally, I have been able to help my family and friends with children find the care they need.

    I have applied some techniques that fit well with my established “flow”. I have noticed that balancing cranio-sacral movement before applying osseous forces help open the system to receive those adjustments. After cranial work, my practice members notice less tension and pressure.

    I think anyone that sees or wants to see babies and children would benefit from having this knowledge and skill set. Now knowing more about how critical the first 2 years of development are, there needs to be more chiropractors out there caring for kiddos.

    Will definitely be taking this course again.”
